Administrating ISA Server 2006 Remotely Using MMC and Remote Desktop Connections
There are a couple of ways you can manage the ISA Firewall. You can use either a RDP connection to the ISA Firewall, or you can use the ISA MMC console from a workstation somewhere on an ISA Firewall Protected Network. In this article, Tarek Majdalani goes through the details of each method available for managing the ISA Firewall or ISA Firewall array.

He forget to mention to first backup the system rules.
That’s the first thing you need to do before attempting to modify anything…..

Thats a sure thing, and thats the first thing any ISA Server should do before attempting to change anything in the configuration.
and if you noticed, in the beginning of my article, i referred the readers to the main article of System Policy, and if anyone reads it, he would read the line where it says to make backups of the system policy before attempting to perfom any changes.
Thanks,

Hello Tarek,
I’ m running ISA server 2006 SP1 in a single Nic environment and I’ m able to use MMC but unable to query / monitor from my workstation. The query / monitor function works fine from the ISA servers themselves and from the configuration server. I’ m using a SQL server which is not the configuration server or the ISA servers. I have checked the system policy and added my workstation to the Remote Management Computers group. Do you have any suggestions ?.
Thx v.much.
