Procedure 7: Installing a server in the array

  • Article

Now that you have created an array, you can add the ISA Server computers, FW-A1, FW-A2, and FW-A3 to the array.

Perform this procedure three times, once each on computers FW-A1, FW-A2, and FW-A3.

To add a server in an array

  1. Log on to the domain using the credentials of the administrator of the main array (MainArrayAdmin).

  2. Insert the ISA Server CD into the CD drive, or run ISAautorun.exe from the shared network drive.

  3. In Microsoft ISA Server Setup, click Install ISA Server.

  4. After the setup program prompts that it has completed determining the system configuration, on the Welcome page, click Next.

  5. If you accept the terms and conditions stated in the user license agreement, click I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.

  6. Type your customer information, and then click Next.

  7. On the Setup Scenarios page, select Install ISA Server services, and then click Next.

  8. On the Component Selection page, you can review the settings, and then click Next.

  9. On the Locate Configuration Storage Server page, specify the Configuration Storage server to which this computer will connect. You can click Browse to locate the Configuration Storage server computer. Note that the name you use to refer to the Configuration Storage server computer is its fully qualified domain name on the network, and not the enterprise name (Fabrikam) that you provided previously. On this page, if the user is not logged on as an enterprise or array administrator, you must select Connect using this account and then provide the credentials of an enterprise or array administrator to connect to the Configuration Storage server. Click Next.

  10. On the Array Membership page, select Join an Existing Array, and then click Next.

  11. On the Join Existing Array page, provide the name of the array, Main. You can also click Browse to open the Arrays to join dialog box, and select the array from the list. Click Next.

  12. On the Configuration Storage Server Authentication Options page, select the authentication type that will be used for connections between the ISA Server computer and the Configuration Storage server. Because in this scenario the firewall array and the Configuration Storage server are in the same domain, select Windows authentication, and then click Next.

  13. This step will only take place on the first server you install in the array. On the Internal Network page, specify the IP address range that will constitute the Internal network for this array. We recommend that you map your Internal network to the enterprise network you created in Procedure 4: Creating enterprise networks.

    1. Click Add to open the Addresses dialog box.
    2. Click Add Network to open the Select Enterprise Networks dialog box.
    3. Select Internal, and then click OK.
    4. In the Addresses dialog box, click OK.
    5. On the Internal Network page, click Next.

  14. On the Services Warning page, review the list of services that will be stopped or disabled during installation of ISA Server. To continue the installation, click Next.

  15. On the Ready to Install the Program page, click Install.

  16. After the installation is complete, click Finish.

  17. You will be prompted to restart the computer. Click Yes to restart the computer.

  18. Repeat this procedure for the other servers that have to be installed.

Exploring the array environment

After the servers are installed, you can view the changes.

To explore the array environment

  1. After the computer restarts, open ISA Server Management. To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then click ISA Server Management.

  2. Expand the Enterprise Policies node. The enterprise policies that you created on the Configuration Storage server are listed. However, you cannot modify those policies from this array member, unless you are logged on with enterprise administrator credentials (EnterpriseAdmin).

  3. Expand the Arrays node. Click Firewall Policy. In the task pane, on the Tasks tab, the tasks you can perform to create an array-level firewall policy are listed. You will do this on the branch array in Procedure 9: Configuring array policy.

  4. Expand the Configuration node, and click Servers. Any servers that you added to the array are listed.

    Note

    Changes will not be visible in ISA Server Management on the Configuration Storage server until you refresh the console (press F5).
