    Hi there Guys,

    We have got an existing ISA 2006 server with single IP address (DMZ subnet), is it possible to utilisie reverse proxy capabilities of this box for enrollment. Please bear in mind that This server is also used as a proxy for internal clients. If so what would be the best way to go about it ?

    I.e can i get the external firewall to forward SSL traffic to ISA and configure the publising rule and open 443 from isa to mdm enrollment server? 

    What i am trying to get to is whether or not we need dual nics on the ISA server?  

    Best Regards,

    Ras

    Yes

    Issue an SSL certificate from your internal CA. Create a web listener. Create a Web publishing rule.

    No Need for Dual NICS, even if you want to use multiple IP addresses.

    Are you using the ISA server to Publish any other content?

    Thanks for that Wayne, really appreciate that mate.

    At the moment we are not but potentially OWA will be published through the same ISA server.

    Cheers mate

    Ras,

    If you have OWA published through ISA then you are probably going to need an SSL certificate from a third party CA. You can only bind one certificate, to one port, on one IP address. MDM requires the web listening certificate be issued by your internal CA, so you have a dilemma.
    We've not even started on Autodiscovery or ActiveSync. These also require SSL certificates. 
    Start asking your ISP for more IP addresses.


    If this is a lab, have a look at SAN certificates... but you need to be running ISA 2006 SP1.
     

    Cheers Wayne
