Automating ISA Server Export with Custom Scripts
Although the entire ISA configuration can be exported easily to a single XML file through
the use of the export functionality, the method to automate this process is not intuitive,
and there are no built-in tools for accomplishing this functionality. Fortunately, it is relatively
straightforward to script this type of export using the predefined FPC scripting
object. More information on the capabilities of the FPC object can be found at the
following URL:

Creating and Deploying an ISA Server Automatic Export Script
Scripting expertise and a knowledge of the FPC object make it possible to create scripts to
automate the export of specific ISA functionality. This can be extremely useful for many
organizations because it takes the manual effort out of ISA server backup, making it more
likely that a full backup will exist for an ISA server.
Listing 18.1 is an example of a WSF file that automates the export of the entire ISA configuration
to a local or network location.
