Hi,<br />
I have been chosen to install ISA server 2004 here at work. &nbsp;I know absolutely nothing about it and am clueless on where to start.<br />
Does anyone know of any site or .pdf or guide or whatever anywhere that can walk me through the setup and installation all the way through configuration. &nbsp;I mainly need to get this set up for the proxy to optimize bandwidth and limit internet content such as blogs and streaming media.<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Installing ISA Server 2004, guide, walkthrough or step by step

Microsoft Forefront, formerly known as Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server), is a network router, firewall, antivirus program, VPN server and web cache that runs on Windows servers. It includes identity management and protection systems, and discontinued systems for threat management and network protection, along with protection for Sharepoint and Exchange. The scope of discussions includes forward and reverse proxy, application and service publishing, virtual private networks (VPNs), outbound access rules, SSL certificates and network routing within either a single node or an highly-available array pairing.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
