sbsb2003 add ISA

We are going to install ISA on the SBS2003 server, what issues will there be
with the mobile users that bring their laptops in and out. I was told an ISA
firewall must be installed on the client machines so will the mobile users
have trouble away from the office?
Thanks

Yes you were told right. You must install the Firewall client with ISA
server internally. No problem though. If it causes issues outside your
network they can always disable it.

The ISA Firewall Client is entirely optional. If it doesn't suit your
needs, don't use it.

It's primary advantage is that it allows any application on Windows to
authenticate to ISA for external requests. Without it, your use of user
accounts to control access is very limited.

Anyone who's running a mixed LAN environment (eg Macs or Linux + Windows)
is going to have little use for it too, since it only works with Windows.
