Once, I actually paid for support from Microsoft and part of the process was
disabling ISA server. I don't remember how it was done. A year later it sems
ISA is back on and I'm having some problems for numerous reasons, as you
could imagine. I tried to uninstall ISA and windows tells me that an
application (ISA related, I'm sure) must be stopped first. So, that route
doesn't work. Anyway, it was 1-2-3 for the SBS specialist to stop ISA server.
Anybody else know how?

Hi Warren,
You could go into the Services console (Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Administrative Tools | Services) and stop the Microsoft ISA Server Control,
then set the following services to "manual":
Microsoft Firewall
Microsoft ISA Server Control
Microsoft Web Proxy
Microsoft H.323 Gatekeeper
After these are stopped, you should be able to uninstall ISA 2000 from
Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel (make sure you uninstall the ISA client
from each workstation before you uninstall ISA). If you still can't
uninstall it, use RMISA.exe:

Thanks Merv! I went back in this morning and looked where you said to, and
the services were already disabled. So, I went to uninstall again and no
problem. Finicky things. Anyway, uninstalling the ISA server succesfully
remedied my REAL problem which was my emails were unreadable; Exchange was
receiving them but some workstations would not synchronize, others would have
the item in Outlook but attempting to open them would give HTTP 1.1/500
Internal Server Error. All good now.
Just to answer Cris' question, I am running a NAT firewall. I've got SBS in
a sinle NIC configuration so ISA would be useless anyway. Not to mention my
server is a single-core P III with maybe 512 MB of RAM. Its old. But I like
having my own mail server and all the functionality of Exchange.
Thanks for the help fellas
Warren

Don't have ISA installed here so can't give you the exact name of the service
but once you stop it, you could uninstall
I trust you have some ofther firewall in place?
