Module 4: Configuring ISA Server 2004 as a Firewall
This module explains how to configure ISA Server 2004 to provide firewall capabilities and restrict traffic into and out of the network. The module describes how to configure firewall policies and rules to provide specific functionality.
Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 5: Configuring Access to Internal Resources
This module explains how to configure Web and server publishing rules to publish internal network resources to the Internet without compromising internal network security.
Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 6: Integrating ISA Server 2004 and Microsoft Exchange Server
This module explains how Microsoft Exchange Server is a critical network service that is virtually always accessible from the Internet and how ISA Server 2004 can be used to provide security for Exchange Server and for securing client connections to Exchange.
Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 7: Advanced Application and Web Filtering
This module explains how application and Web filtering can be used for very specific filtering of traffic that flows through the ISA Server. The module shows how to configure application and Web filtering to provide advanced protection for the internal network.
Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 8: Configuring Virtual Private Network Access for Remote Clients and Networks
This module explains how to provide access to the internal network for remote users while maintaining network security by implementing a virtual private network (VPN). The module shows how to configure ISA Server 2004 to provide a VPN solution.
Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 9: Implementing Caching to Improve Browsing Performance

Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 10: Monitoring ISA Server 2004
This module explains how administrators can use monitoring features of ISA Server to track network activity and monitor ISA Server performance.
Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 11: Implementing ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition
This module will focus on the concepts related to planning and implementing an ISA Server 2004 infrastructure. This module will highlight the differences between ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition and explain how to implement the Enterprise Edition features.
Lessons
After completing this module students will be able to:
Module 12: Implementing ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition: Back-to-Back Firewall Scenario
The primary focus of this module is the lab where the students will implement ISA Server Enterprise Edition in a back-to-back firewall configuration that includes network load balancing and shared caching. The module information will introduce the complexities of implementing a back-to-back firewall configuration and then provide guidelines for deploying this configuration. In the lab the students will implement and test a back-to-back firewall scenario. This module should prepare students to implement a scalable back-to-back firewall solution using ISA Server Enterprise Edition based on a minimal but realistic set of business requirements.
