Removing ISA...

We took over a business running Windows 2000 Small Business Server
multi-homed. This business has ISA running. Since taking over we have placed
the business behind a hardware firewall and no longer need ISA.

All the desktops are set to use ISA in a proxy configuration and nobody
likes that including us.

Can we remove ISA? If so how? Link please. :)
Can we remove ISA without having to reset all the browsers?

Thanks,

Rex

If you don't want to use ISA, why don't you just disable it, rather than
trying to remove it? And you can certainly disable the ISA Firewall client
on all the desktops. That's not necessarily required, even if you do use
ISA.

If I may ask ...
What type of firewall did you install? Many places run both a hardware
firewall and ISA.
What reasons do you have for wanting to remove ISA?

Well we are having a devil of a time getting OWA working. This server is 4
years old and near as I can tell more scripts have configured ISA than actual
manually entered rules.

I tried disabling ISA and all outbound email promptly died. Is this because
the deskotps were still using the ISA client?

I've installed SonicWALL TZ 170's with deep packet inspection, intrusion
detection and a few other add-on services. I've never been particularly fond
of ISA but that's personal preference not anything based upon fact. For me
it's I like blue more than red.
