    • Expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2006, expand Arrays, and then click Array_Name.

  2. On the Tasks tab, click Configure Array Properties.

  3. On the Configuration Storage tab, in Alternate Configuration Storage server, type the computer name or IP address of the alternate Configuration Storage server to be used by this array. This server will be used if the primary Configuration Storage server fails.

Note

To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then click ISA Server Management.

Important

After the primary Configuration Storage server is unavailable for 30 minutes, ISA Server switches to an alternate Configuration Storage server, if it is specified. After using the alternate Configuration Storage server for 6 hours, ISA Server periodically checks if the primary Configuration Storage server is available. After the primary server is available for 10 minutes, the array switches to the primary Configuration Storage server. The times specified in this procedure are the defaults. They can be configured using the ISA Server Software Development Kit (SDK). For a sample script that configures these defaults, see Setting Configuration Storage Server Delay Times at the Microsoft TechNet Web site(https://www.microsoft.com/).
If the alternate server is unavailable for thirty minutes, the array will switch to the primary Configuration Storage server, if it is available.
