ISA in SBS - yes, it’s secure

From a user group post by Jim Harrison. Thanks Jim for the step-by-step on this common question. Notice Jim’s sense of humor comes through on step one.

1. Start, Server Manglement

2. Expand

- Advanced Manglement,

- Group Policy Manglement

- Forest: <yourdomainhere>

- Domains: <yourdomainhere>

3. R-click Default Domain Policy, select “Edit”

When the “Group Policy Object Editor” window appears,

1. Expand

- Windows Settings

- Internet Exploder Maintenance

2. Select “Connection”

3. In the right pane, r-click “Automatic Browser Configuration”

In the “Automatic Browser Configuration” window

- if you don’t have wpad entries in your DNS, uncheck “Automatically

detect…”

1. select “Enable Automatic Configuration”

2. in the Auto-proxy URL field, enter http://<yourisainteralip>:

<listenerport>/wpad.dat (listenerport is 8080 by default)

3. Click “OK” to close the “Automatic Browser Configuration” window

4. Close the “Group Policy Object Editor” window

1. Start, Run, “cmd” <enter>.

2. type “gpupdate /force” <enter>.

..all done

[Via ISA in SBS - yes, it's secure]

Actually I changed step to 2. to put the wpad.dat entry in the Auto-Config URL field. I think it didn’t work for me in the other configuration. I also made an Alias entry in the forward lookup zone so my other browsers can autoconfig using DNS. I already had set up DHCP to autoconfig. For a little more spice in my life I am checking out firefoxadm. This is Sourceforge project to manage the Firefox configuration using a GPO.
