ISA 2004 SP2 - DO NOT INSTALL!!

[ZeroHour]

Stay away from it. We are having problems here and MS have not provided a hotfix for it yet.

If you have it check out http://www.sun.com and see the page there.

 

You will get 502 errors about Headers being invalid on *bad* sites as well as caching issues. Disabling cache (aka setting size to 0) seems to fix some issues but the header one can only be fixed by rolling back until a hotfix is released.

Any had any issues yet?

 

UPDATE: MS have released a "phone for" hotfix at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916106/

 

Works here

I installed it on Monday, don't seem to be experiencing any problems, not really seen any improvements either though so maybe not worth the risk if problems have being reported.

what about http://www.sun.com?

It work?

[MrDylan]

Yeah, http://www.sun.com works absolutley fine.

 

Tried it with Firefox1.5, IE6 and tried with Administrator and pupil accounts.

I was using the Sun website today and had no problems... how strange... had the SP installed for a while now IIRC.

I think the hotfix is now available and the info link (KB) is there but it still having issues actually downloading the fix - MS has messed up again.!

 

As for SP2, I think it does offer improvements in caching and HTTP compression there is a SP2 whitepaper on MS ISA Server site which details the improvements.

 

We are waiting for the download link to appear on the good old MS's KB link.
