I have the VI Client 2.5 installed on my desktop. I can see that under 'Configuration' there is an option for Security Profile where you can make changes to the firewall. What changes would I make here to enable ISA 2006 to work - to let users browse the web. Thanks.

Hi,<br />
<br />
from the client it gives you very limited options. The best would be to use the esxcfg-firewall command from the command line and exclude the specific ports for the ISA server or disable the firewall totally.<br />

We have recently installed VMWare ESX 3.5, I think. An outside consultant set it up for us. I've installed ISA 2006 (for web proxy only) on a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine. I cannot get ISA to work - someone here on EE said that ESX may have a built in firewall that could block traffic? Is this true and if so how do I administer this ESX firewall or disable it. Thanks for all the help.

Does VMWare have a firewall built in? Trying to install ISA 2006

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
