This post may be out of date, but have you guys had any experience with the new RC release?

Have anyone installed it? it is safe to put it in production?

We are in production with the RC. The question if its safe ? you should decide yourself based on the following:

- It in fact a 2004 R2 (feature upgrade)
- The RC code has been fixed for RTM, so only little code changes are possible but nothing major
- Do you really need it right now, are you missing features on your current config that are offered now in 2k6?

Succes

Hi ES593, thanks for your reply.

- Do you really need it right now, are you missing features on your current config that are offered now in 2k6?
A. Actually We do. What we want is to publish our Front end Owa server using LDAP Authentication, that�s a very good new feature.

- The RC code has been fixed for RTM, so only little code changes are possible but nothing major
A. Great Info. Thanks

Regards.

Hi Carlos,

I would never recommend using non-RTM code at a customer site. However, if this is your own site, and you have a sophisticated IT group who understands the risks, then there's no problem. Its certainly more secure than any production PIX or Juniper/Netscreen box!

HTH,
Tom

So ISA 2006 RC just contains only some fixes in comparison with 2006 Beta?
I didn't noticed any new features or improvements.

If that so, I suppose RTM version also will not add anything new.

Hi Jesse,

AT this point we're looking for stability issues. No new features will be introduced for RTM.

Thanks!
Tom

Tom thanks for the advice.

In fact our main office is behind Isa Server 2004 SP2 Protecting our OWA Access and all SMTP traffic.

However I am planing to publish and Owa server with LDAP auth (nice feature) here for testing purposes.

Any other with another experience?

Anybody know if 2006 isa will run on a 2003 x64 system? Its the only thing holding me back, i had a look but i cant find any mention of it NOT working. 2004 didnt work so im hoping they remedied it in 2006
