Hi everybody,

Is there a way to create an error page displayed when a link is down?

Also, is it possible to make a default page to be displayed whenever a user run his browser?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure if there is a specific error page for when the link is down (time out page). But all the error html pages are located under the (default)
c:\program files\microsoft isa server\errorhtmls.

All the pages can be customized.

Are you looking for a pop-up that is run everytime a user starts a browser ?

Thanks a lot ... your reply was very helpful...

But I was confused how to configure all these error pages. I searched in ISA help about how to configure these but no benefit.

Beside that, I mean how to force the default page of the client browser to be a url that I given. (e.g. I want the client whenever he launch his brwoser, goes to my Intranet homepage).

Best regards.

Not sure about how ISA can do browser configuration as we use the IEAK to autoconfig our browsers.

I know there is some reference to browser setup with the firewall client but, not everyone has that.

Sure Tom's book has something on this subject.

If you have a large organization would recommend the IEAK. But, that is another support forum...

You can install the registry onto their machine. E.g.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs]
"Intranet"="http://www.yourdomain.com"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Default_Page_URL"="about:Intranet"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"Start Page"="about:Intranet"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"LegalNoticeCation"="Authorized Users Only"

Make sure you change the above "...yourdomain.com" to the URL of your choice.

Next, have the user run the Internet Options in IE and then select Use Default in the Home Page setting.
Good luck.

Thanks a lot all ...

But it will be very hard to apply this to several machines since we r a big organization.

I want t know if there a solution from ISA itself to force the user to see our Intranet Homepage whenever he launch a web browser without installing anything else (e.g. IE SDK) or touchiong the client machine.

Thanks in advance for your concern [Smile]
