So the Microsoft ISA Server will be replaced by a new product. It’s called Microsoft® Forefront™ codename “Stirling”. The name it will probably be is “ForeFront Threat Management Gateway”.
You can download the beta, here.
More info, read the press release or the Microsoft Stirling site.
Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 SP2 provides the latest updates to ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition, with increased security, reliability and stability. Microsoft strongly encourages customers to install SP2 on all computers running ISA Server 2004.
I installed a Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 server with ISA 2004 Standard edition Service Pack 1. After a few days logging on to the ISA server I got the error “Out of memory”. After checking the Task Manager to find out what process was the problem I noticed it was SQLServr.exe. It was using about 1,7 Gb of memory. As there is only 2 Gb of memory and some other processes also require some memory, I wanted to know how I could lower the usage of the SQL Server (MSDE).
On an ISA 2004 (including Service Pack 1) I have configured the cache size.After a reboot I noticed the following error :
Disk cache D:\urlcache\Dir1 failed to initialize.
