I understand how SBS works. I've gotten it to work without any problems previously. I would assume with a shop as small as he is talking about (15 users) they don't have a huge pipe; therefore, the caching would probably be a big benefit.
The question asked was whether it works. Not whether it's the best solution for his situation. Given, I personally would prefer, and best practices dictate, a standalone firewall, but you can get ISA working just fine on an SBS system. All things considered, it wouldn't be a bad idea to do both. No added cost to run ISA, and less than $1K for the PIX. In his position, I'd probably do both.

Not as secure as the PIX solution... I'd go with that.

I've been looking at Small Business Server and it looks almost too good to be true. The obvious limitations (50 workstations, no trusts) are not a problem for this company. Am I missing something here? Has anyone had any experience with SBS 2000? ISA server also looks interesting (the company originally wanted a PIX). Does it live up to it's promises? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
