ISA 2006 Dashboard System Performance Monitoring DOA
During beta testing of the 2006 ISA Firewall I noticed that a few of the versions came with a broken packet counting feature on the ISA Firewall monitoring Dashboard. I figured it was just a beta bug and that it would be fixed in the RTM version of the 2006 ISA Firewall. In fact, I was right about this, because there was a final version of the ISA Firewall, released during the beta phase of the product, where the packet performance graphs worked correctly.
So what’s the beef? The final beta version of the ISA Firewall apparently wasn’t the one used in the RTM product, because in the RTM ISA 2006 Standard Edition release, the packet graphs in the System Performance area of the Dashboard no workie, as you can see in the figure below.
I’m posting this not to just complain, but to find out if anyone else has noticed the same thing, and if so, has anyone found a “secret fix” to get the graphs working again. I’m sure it will be fixed by ISA 2006 SP1, but if there’s a way to get them working again before that, it would be great!
Thanks!

Tom, I just upgraded one of my ISA 2004 firewall to ISA 2006 and the System Performance does not work on. On this particular firewall, it is not a big deal but before I upgrade my other firewall I would like get it resolved. Please le me know if you find any kind of fix!!
Thanks!!

Hi Mike,
Wish I had some good news for you, but unfortunately that’s not the case. I’m hoping they fix this bug with the first Service Pack.

Hi,
I’ve encountered this issue on all customers that have upgraded to the 2006 version. I guess that the bug is still not fixed.

Same problem over here, i don’t even think microsoft is willing to fix this - how hard could it be?

Same problem here.
ISA 2006 with all updates to the moment, and still no luck.
Any chance to get it working?
