1) Paperback Book Microsoft ISA Server 2006 Unleashed by Sams. This book is well done but useless. It is a combination advertisement for ISA, screenshots of all of the wizards in the application, and summaries of the "Getting Started..." portions of the ISA help files. It took me about 1 hour of working with ISA to get familiarized with it to cover ever topic that this book covers. It has *nothing* to help you if things don´t work exactly as expected. Don´t spend money on this book unless you are completely unknowledgable about firewalls, routing, VPNs, etc.¤

2) Paperback Book Microsoft ISA Server 2006 Unleashed by Sams. Considering this book was months late, I would have thought that it would have covered the protection and configuration of Microsoft messaging product Exchange 2007. Alas, it only covers Exchange 2003. Exchange 2007 RTM has been out for a year, so the absence of Exchange 2007 security and reverse proxy - and the lack of support of mobile device (ActiveSync) security makes this book unacceptable to me. My experience with ISA 2006 is to combine it with other applications. Messaging applications and collaboration applications are the biggest type of applications ISA protects. So coverage of these types of products is mandatory. Yes, it covers ISA 2006 itself well, but as more companies deploy SharePoint 2007 and Exchange 2007, this book is outdated immediately the day it was published because of it´s lack of 2007 coverage. Since this will likely be the only third-party book published covering ISA 2006, by itself it is a disappointment. If you are new to the ISA product, then this book will give you the basics. If you are looking to truly dive deep into protecting complex applications such as Exchange 2007, pass on this one. Dedicate your research to Microsoft TechNet and blogs on the treatment of ISA and the products you are protecting and you´ll do much better.¤

3) Paperback Book Microsoft ISA Server 2006 Unleashed by Sams.

ISA Server 2006 is a robust application layer firewall that provides organizations with the ability to secure critical business infrastructure from the exploits and threats of the modern computing world. ISA’s ability to act as an edge firewall, a Virtual Private Networking solution, a reverse proxy server, or a content caching device give it unprecedented flexibility and position it as a valuable security tool for many types of organizations.

ISA Server 2006 Unleashed provides insight into the inner workings of the product, as well as providing best-practice advice on design and implementation concepts for ISA. In addition to detailing commonly requested topics such as securing Outlook Web Access, deploying ISA in a firewall DMZ, and monitoring ISA traffic, this book provides up-to-date information about the new enhancements made to the 2006 version of the product. The author draws upon his experience deploying and managing enterprise ISA environments to present real-world scenarios, outline tips and tricks, and provide step-by-step guides to securing infrastructure using ISA.
