We recommend that you install ISA Server SP2 on every ISA Server computer deployed in your organization, including computers running only ISA Management or the Message Screener.

Before installing ISA Server SP2, make sure the computer is disconnected from the Internet. The computer should remain disconnected from the Internet until the ISA Server SP2 installation is completed successfully. After installation, the computer can be safely connected to the Internet.

To install ISA Server SP2 on ISA Server 2000 Enterprise Edition, you must be logged on with an account that has Domain Administrator privileges.

4.0 Firewall Client for ISA Server SP2

ISA Server SP2 enhances the stability of the Firewall Client software. We recommend that Firewall Client computers be updated with the ISA Server SP2 client fixes.

Firewall Client setup should be run directly from the mspclnt share. If you install from any other location (including using the Add/Remove Control Panel applet), the fixes included in ISA Server SP2 for the Firewall Client will not be installed.

To upgrade Firewall Client to include the ISA Server SP2 fixes:

  1. Install ISA Server SP2 on the ISA Server computer.
  2. On the client machine, run Setup.exe from the client share directory <\\isaserver\mspclnt\setup.exe> and choose Repair.

6.0 H.323 Application Filter

For security reasons, ISA Server SP2 configures the H.323 application filter to stop listening for incoming and outgoing calls. In this way, you minimize the risk of introducing potential vulnerabilities such as those described in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-001 (http://www.microsoft.com/). The updates described in the bulletin are included in ISA Server SP2.
You can configure the H.323 application filter settings after you install ISA Server SP2. Perform the following steps:

  1. In ISA Management, click Internet Security and Acceleration Server, click Servers and Arrays, click the name of the applicable array, click Extensions, and then click Application Filters.
  2. In the details pane, right-click H.323 Filter, and then click Properties.
  3. On the Call Control tab, select one or both of the following options, as applicable: Allow incoming calls and Allow outgoing calls.
