New ways to do familiar tasks
The following table lists common tasks you can perform using Microsoft® Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004, and compares these tasks to how they were performed using ISA Server 2000.
| If you want to | In ISA Server 2000 | In ISA Server 2004 |
|---|---|---|
| Publish co-located servers | Create a static packet filter allowing access to the specific server located on the ISA Server computer. | Create a server publishing rule. For more information, see Create a server publishing rule. |
| Enable an application on the ISA Server computer to access the Internet | Create a static packet filter allowing access to the specific port on the ISA Server computer. | Verify that the default network rule, which is created upon installation, accurately defines a relationship between the Local Host network and the External network. Then, create an access rule that allows access to the specific protocol. For more information, see Create an access rule. |
| Configure the local address table (LAT) | Click Local Address Table on any service's properties. | The Internal network replaces the local address table, and is configured as part of the setup process. You can subsequently reconfigure the Internal network. For more information about configuring networks, see Configure network addresses. |
| Configure IP-based protocol support | IP-based protocols were supported in a limited fashion. | Create a protocol definition, specifying any of the following protocols: TCP, UDP, ICMP, or IP-level. If you select IP-level, you can specify any low-level protocol. |
| Configure virtual private networking | Use the VPN wizards to configure client-to-router or router-to-router VPN. | Configure and enable VPN properties. |
| Configure outgoing Web request properties | On the array properties, click the Outgoing Web requests tab and configure listener properties. | Each network has its own listener, the network adapter that is responsible for listening for requests bound for that network. For information about configuring listeners for outgoing requests, see Configure outgoing Web access. |
| Configure incoming Web request properties | On the array properties, click the Incoming Web requests tab and configure listener properties. | Web listeners are used as part of each Web publishing rule. When you configure a Web publishing rule, you specify which Web listener to use for that rule. For information about configuring listeners for outgoing requests, see Create a rule element. |
MMS stream splitting and bandwidth control, which were included in ISA Server 2000, are no longer supported in ISA Server 2004.
