RE: ISA Server Issues

[Eric Peeters]

Title: RE: Wildcard question

The way I am doing it varies depending on whether the end user is running NT or 2000. The first step is common to both, however. Send an e-mail to the users being transitioned and tell them how to turn off the Proxy client. That is the only step necessary for my Windows 2000 clients (Win 2000 Pro SP2 with IE 5.0). For my NT users, the same E-mail included instructions on how to enable automatic settings discovery, which worked for me.   If automatic settings discovery is not working for you, make sure you have enabled it in the ISA server (ISA - Server and Arrays - <server name> - Client configuration - Web browser).   As a work around, you can send your users an E-mail with a link to the gateway settings (http://<ISA_server_name>:8080/array.dll?GetRoutingScript). Once they click on it, they should be set.   ISA doesn't *have* to be the gateway to the outside for your users, but you will of course not benefit from any of its functionalities (monitoring, reporting, controling, etc...) if you use any other gateway. If you use a different gateway, it can't be on the same path as your ISA server.
