A lot of questions come up about what the ISA Security Wizard does. The Wizard just applies a predefined security template which is included with Win2k Server products.

The Security Templates are sort of handy, but you have to spent quite a bit of time going over each component of the templates using the Security Templates and Security Configuration and Analysis snap-in's.

The problem is that a lot of undocumented strangeness takes place after applying the templates. Some things that have been noted by others who had the misfortunate of applying security templates:

**Cannot open RRAS Console!

**Scheduled Content Download no long works!

**Reports do not appear!

**Can Browse Network!

**Local Administrator cannot log on!

**Cannot Refresh Alerts in ISA Management console!

...and a host of others.

So, proceed with great caution before running the Security Wizard.
