Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / May 2005Gateway in front of SBS
Viruses are getting tougher and more harmful. Obviously SBS, a Firewall and AntiVirus suites are the norm. >From what I can gather, AV companies are recommending puting a Gateway serverin front of SBS(ISA) to isolate threats before getting into the SBS hardware platform. If anyone has installed a gateway for this reason, please pass along any documentation or advice on what needs to be done. Thanks all! I have a Sonicwall TZ170 in front of my SBS, but I don't subscribe to their AV service. IMO a reliable AV product installed on the server, and scanning the file system plus Exchange, is all you need. FWIW, I started blocking all incoming e-mails with potentially dangerous attachments, and my virus activity has just about disappeared. I use both the SMTP filtering in ISA 2000, and the "pre scan block" feature in my Exchange AV, which deletes all attachments on the list without even attempting to scan them first. I block a whole list of stuff like exe, bat, pif, com, etc. - most of the ones you're seeing with viruses. I've had no problems since I started the blocking. > Viruses are getting tougher and more harmful. Obviously SBS, a > Firewall and AntiVirus suites are the norm.
