Notes

To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then click ISA Server Management.
You can specify a computer name using computer_name or IP address.
To manage a remote ISA Server computer using ISA Server Management, you must use the System Policy Editor to enable the Remote Management: Microsoft Management Console configuration group.
In addition, if you are connecting from the ISA Server computer, you must add an access rule, allowing the Local Host network to access the managed ISA Server computer using the Firewall Control protocol.
When providing credentials of a domain user, be sure to specify the domain field (for example, europe\DonH).
When providing credentials of a local user on a computer running Windows 2000, do not specify a domain name.
When managing from a computer in a domain to an ISA Server computer that belongs to a workgroup, specify the domain name as the name of the ISA Server computer.
