Installation • ISA Server Service Pack 1 now available at http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver/downloads/sp1.asp Note that the above link is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.
SP1 Re-Release • Important: Microsoft previously recommended that customers who had deployed SP1 on the original release in mid-January, and were not using the SMTP filter, should continue to use SP1. Customers who downloaded and deployed SP1 before January 24, 2002 are strongly encouraged to install the most current version of SP1 on all computers running ISA Server over their current version. • To determine which version of SP1 you have installed, look at the build version number. The new build version of SP1 is 1200.166. If you have build version 1200.165, you should apply the new SP1 build over your current SP1.
Major Improvements • Registry key "UseISAAddressInPublishing" to allow full-NAT with server publishing • Registry key to "AddFrontEndHttpsHeader" to enable SSL Offloading to work with OWA • Adds support for Windows .NET server products • Stability improvements • Functionality improvements
