Does anyone know of a good tutorial on setting up VPN for client access in ISA 2006? I have everything working but some areas of the configuration are confusing.
For example:
In ISA, under the VPN properties there is an option to select DHCP or create a static mapping. Isn't this usually controlled by a Routing and Remote Access policy? Which one takes precedence?
In ISA, under the VPN properties there is an option to select the RADIUS server. However, this option is also in the Routing and Remote Access policy. Why does it need to go in both places?
I'm used to the ISA 2000 VPN configuration where Routing and Remote Access is more dominant. These duplication of settings are throwing me off.

Remember one thing You are not supposed to directly edit any setting in RRAS console while using ISA. All the configurations has to be done in the ISA console and it will Reflect in RRAS Basically ISA controls Every bit of RRAS
Regarding the address assignment, If you have a DHCP server on the network you could use it to assign IP addresses else mention a static pool in ISA console not in RRAS Same is true For RADIUS, if you have working RADIUS server specify it in ISA.
Ok, looks like I need to go back and remove the policy in RRAS that I manually created. Then go to ISA and specify the settings and hope it creates the corresponding RRAS policy.
Do I still need to manually create the firewall rule for the VPN clients that allow them communicate with internal resources once they are connected?

Instead of removing Disable RRAS and reboot the ISA box. At startup ISA will configure RAS. After the reboot verify VPN settings and make changes in ISA console only, if you need to do so.
Yes, The Access rules has to be configured to allow communication b/w VPN clients network and Internal network
I had the same questions and I have followed this thread, but my VPN clients still get stuck on verifying username and password.
I notice you mentioned disabling RRAS. Do you mean go into Services on the ISA box and literally stop and disable the RRAS service? Doesn't ISA use it?
