Temporary 2nd ISA Server For Testing? - 11.Oct.2007 8:30:06 AM

Adding individual URLs to ISA Server is no longer working so we are looking at various products for reporting. We have a single ISA Server 2006 running and I would like to add a second box running an evaluation copy of GFI for select users for testing purposes. I am a newbie to ISA server and was wondering if that is going to be easy to accomplish?

The ISA part. We have a number of VPNs that are working fine so our thought was to leave the current ISA server alone and then add a second one testing GFI (and possibly some others) for evaluation and then make a final decision. So I would like to add a second ISA that has a DMZ of a select group of test uers with minimal change to the current ISA server.

hi you do not need to change anything on the production server.

why not put this new ISA Server in parallel to your production one.

in this way , you can leave the production one untouched.

I have never set up an ISA server but would it be similar such as multiple DHCP scopes to have them in parallel? My goal would be to add the second one and assign certain users for testing purposes without making changes to the current server on line.
