This functionality
gives administrators much more flexibility to export individual rules or other ISA
elements and then import them into additional servers or use them to restore a server.
Exporting Individual Sets of Rules
ISA Server export is not limited in scope, but can be used to export out individual rules,
entire rule sets, or other specific functionality on a server. These configuration sets can
subsequently be imported back into ISA Server or onto another ISA Server configuration.
This includes export and import of rules and configuration from ISA Server 2006 Standard
Edition to ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition. The advantages to this functionality are
immediately obvious because individual customized elements can be backed up easily and
restored at will.
To export all the firewall policy rules, perform the following steps:
1. In the ISA Server Management Console, select Firewall Policy in the console tree
on the left.
2. Make sure that the Tasks tab is visible in the Tasks pane.
3. Under Related Tasks, choose Export Firewall Policy.
4. Click Next at the welcome wizard.
5. Check the box to export confidential information, enter a password, and click Next
to continue.
