Which service of ISA2006 is the one i should restart?
I set up an ISA 2006 firewall and proxy server on our testing environment. I noticed that there are four services running for ISA2006, they are:
1. Microsoft Firewall
2. Microsoft ISA Server Control
3. Microsoft ISA Server Job Scheduler
4. Microsoft ISA Server Storage
My question is if i want to restart ISA2006 service, which one should i choose to restart. In other words, which one is the most fundamental one. I know on exchange server, there is a service named exchange admin service i can use to restart all exchange related services.
Besides, would you guys give me a simple explaination of these four services, or a link to instroduce these four ISA2006 services.
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, do you have any more resource about these services.
Besides, how to improve my ISA firewall operation skill, i think you are an expert on ISA firewall.
Comparing to hardware firewall, i think ISA 2006 software firewall is more powerful and functional, do you agree with it.
Also, i want to know, comparing to CISCO's PIX and ASA firewall, which one is hard to set up. I didn't have opportunity to use CISCO's firewall products, i only used Juniper's and sonic wall's hardware firewall.
Thank you for your timely reply.

Thank you very much for your explaination.
Thanks :)
Firewall service - this is the traditional service that runs the proxy itself.
Control Service - Controls the ISA server policy etc
Job Scheduler - Things that you have automated in ISA - you can schediule to pull down web sites to rebuild your cache at periodic times, setting up the schedule in ISA of when people are allowed to use the services etc
Server Storage - CSS - the central repository of where the ISA Enterprise configs are held
