  Hi Srini,

  Why you don't configure ISA and your network to send the correct ISA Server to ISA Clients?

  For example, with "Autodiscovery" your users can go to branchs and back to HQ and the ISA Client is automatically configured.

  See this articles below:

  • Understanding the Web Proxy and Firewall Client Automatic Configuration: http://www.isaserver.org/articles/ISA2004_ClientAutoConfig.html
  • Configuring Automatic Discovery for ISA Server Clients.: http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring_Automatic_Discovery_for_ISA_Server_Clients.html
  • Configuring DHCP and DNS for ISA automatic discovery: http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring-DHCP-DNS-automatic-discovery.html
  • Configuring WPAD Support for ISA Firewall Web Proxy and Firewall Clients: http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring-WPAD-Support-ISA-Firewall-Web-Proxy-Firewall-Clients.html

  See you,

  There is nothing special to do in the installation of the ISA Client.  The default is to already do autodetection.

   

  Autodetection is dependent on WPAD which is done in both DNS and DHCP.  It is an industry standard and is not a "ISA thing".

   

  The built in Help in the ISA should have all the details to handle that.  There are also a lot of WPAD related articles all over the Internet and MS's site.

  Hi ,

  I am looking for a silent install of ISA Firewall client that configures a proxy/server during the install. Here is what I tried so far.

  cmd /c "ISACLIENT-KB929556-ENU.exe /q:a /c:"setup.exe /q" " . I was able to install the firewall client successfully . But after the restart the machine doesn't detect the ISA Server automatically. If I specify the ISA Server manually via client UI, everything works fine.

  I also looked at http://forums.isaserver.org/m_410002100/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm, which has some instructions to do this. But it didn't work for me.

  I am trying to automate ISA firewall client install with the right configuration. Can you help with any command/tool/utility to configure ISA server?

  Thanks,

  Srini
