You cannot remove ISA Server 2006 updates on a computer that is running ISA Server 2006 Configuration Storage Server or the ISA Server Management MMC snap-in

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that you use as a Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 Configuration Storage Server or as a management console. You do not use this computer as an ISA server.
  • You install an ISA update or a service pack on this computer.
  • You open the “Add or Remove Programs” item in Control Panel to remove this update.

In this scenario, you find that a Remove button does not appear in the ISA Server 2006 update entry in the Currently installed programs list. In this entry, a note states the following:

This update cannot be removed.

If you try to remove the update manually, you may receive an error message that resembles the following:

Setup failed while trying to get server settings from the Configuration Storage server required for the installation.

This also applies to ISA 2006 SP1.

    Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to understand so much about this, such as you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few % to drive the message house a bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog. A great read. I’ll certainly be back.
