Best Practices
. Include ISA maintenance procedures into a broader organization-wide plan that
includes checklists and step-by-step procedures.
. Sign up for automatic notification of new security patches and updates with a
service such as the Microsoft Security Notification Service.
. Test all patches and updates in an isolated prototype lab environment before deploying
them on production ISA servers.
. Use third-party hacking tools to audit the security of an ISA environment on a quarterly
basis.
. Keep free disk space on server volumes above 25%.
. Use manual or Microsoft Update methods to update the Windows operating system
on an ISA server.
. Consider the use of a tool such as Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 2005/Systems
Center Operations Manager 2007 to archive and report on ISA event logs.
