ISA Server SE Installing ISA Server Management

  • Article

You manage ISA Server 2006 through the ISA Server Management MMC snap-in. You need a reliable, fast connection from the ISA Server computer to the computer that is running ISA Server Management, so that ISA Server Management will respond quickly, displaying updated configuration information.

If your connection to the ISA Server computer is slower than 5 Mbps, we recommend that you connect to the ISA Server computer over a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection and run ISA Server Management on the ISA Server computer.
