Hi experts,<br />
<br />
I installed the micorsoft ISA 2004 on the windows 2003 server. Now when I click on windows firewall or try to start the micrsoft server ISA control in the services , I get the error &nbsp;message. &quot;windows could not start the Microsoft ISA server control on local computer.for more information, review the system event log. If this is a non-microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code-1073727715&quot;.<br />
<br />
When I went through the installtion instructions, it said &quot;ISA Server 2004 should be installed on computers running Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003, or Windows® 2000 Server, Service Pack 4 (SP4)&quot;. But later I got to know that I have Service PAck 1(SP1). <br />
<br />
Does the installation of the SP4 effect all other system configuration?<br />
Can anyone send me the link for installing SP4?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />

microsoft ISA server 2004 installation and firewall services

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.

Software Firewalls

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.
