Trying to run through the Security Configuration wizard just comes up with an error. It tells me to refer to the log, which (apart from a couple of access problems with open files) has no errors in it! Is ther any way of manually defining a firewall policy to communicate between subnets in ISA 2000?

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but if you don't know how to admin the ISA server, why are you admining it? Get someone there who knows ISA 2000 to fix this. I don't know ISA 2000 either, and if I didn't have any idea how to do it, I'd either read a book on the product or I'd call someone who knows it to fix it. "Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!

The problem is, as a one man IT department I'm the one that's supposed to know this, that is when they send me on that training course... I've been trying to read up on it from the web, but in between setting up twenty brand new PCs, having colleagues coming to me every ten minutes saying "can you fix this?" and trying not to lose my mind, I haven't had much time.

Then they made a mistake to think they can get away with a one man IT shop with no outside consultant help. Look, I'm an AD, Exchange, ISA 2004/2006 expert. I don't really know all that much how to image PC's and mass deploy them aside from basics like you can use Ghost, or RIS, etc. That's why I don't do that stuff. You simply cannot know it all, and for them to expect that from you is unrealistic. If you touted yourself as "I know ISA 2000" and are stuck, hey, that's on you, but otherwise, your employers are clueless on how to manage IT. ISA is truly an enterprise class product. It takes serious time to learn how to use it. "Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion! Hats off & applause to rogues & evolution! The ripple effect is too good not to mention.

To be frank, I was employed as a technician to maintain hardware mainly on the PC system side, I've been here for nearly eighteen months and this is the first time I've had to go in depth into the server setup. I didn't tout myself as knowing it, in fact I specifically stated my complete lack of server side knowledge, but they employed me anyway. We do have people we can contact, but as their support contract hasn't been renewed they probably won't be too co-operative. Looks like we might not have a choice.

You have a choice - bumble it up and potentially blow the environment up, or pay the piper. It's cheaper to pay the piper. ;-) "Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!

I think you're right - I sent an email to the contractor who set it up originally in hope they'll take pity on a poor technician out of his depth. I know what you mean about "bumbling it up", somehow the work I was doing yesterday in ISA compelled everyone who logged in this morning to reset their passwords...perculiar!
