We are running SBS 2003 with ISA 2004. Since the upgrade we now have really
slow RIS installations. Has anyone come across this, and what rules need to
be put in to allow access to RIS through ISA internally?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Simon,
Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.
From the description, I understand that the internal RIS clients
experienced slow connection to the RIS server through ISA 2004. If I have
misunderstood your concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Based on my research, the similar issues were related to the TFTP traffic.
Different from ISA server 2000, ISA server 2004 treats each network
separately. The restrictions are implemented on each interface of the ISA
server. There is no definite 'Internal' network concept. The traffic from
the ISA server local to the internal network is also controlled by the
firewall policies.
For the current issue, the issue is probably caused because ISA blocks some
UDP packages of TFTP traffic. Here, I suggest you try the following steps
to see if the problem can be resolved:
1. Create a protocol definition for UDP port 1024-65000. Open ISA
management console, navigate to 'Server Name'\'Firewall Policy'. In the
right panel, click 'Toolbox' tab. Click 'New'->'Protocol'. In the wizard,
input the name such as 'RIS'->Click 'New' button. Select 'UDP', 'Send
Receive'. Define the port range from 1024-65000. Click
'Next'->'Next'->Click 'Finish' button.
2. Right-click 'Firewall Policy'->'New'->'Access Policy'. In the wizard,
input the name such as 'Rule for RIS'.->Select 'Allow'->Select 'Selected
protocols'. Click 'Add' button. Find the newly created protocol definition.
Add it into the list. Click 'Add' button to add both 'Local Host' network
and 'Lab' network objects into the source list.->Click 'Add' button to add
both 'Local Host' network and 'Lab' network objects into the destinations
list.->Click 'Next'->Click 'Finish' button to complete the configuration.
3. Click 'Apply' button to apply the settings. Navigate to 'Monitoring'
snap-in. Restart the ISA firewall service in 'Services' tab.
I hope the above information helps. If you have any questions or concerns,
please feel free to let me know.

For anyone that is interested, I've managed to get this working now (with
thanks to Crina Li at Microsoft for pointing me the right direction...)
RIS uses TFTP, but the rule in ISA is for TFTP is only a single direction.
Here's what I did....
1) Create a protocol definition, called "RIS". Allow "UDP" port 69 to
"Send/Receive", then "apply" the rule.
2) Create a new access policy as follows:
Name: RIS
Allow Rule
Selected Protocols: (user Defined) RIS
Source: Internal Network, local host
Destination: Internal Network, local host
3) Restart the firewall Service.
After this RIS starts and responds as before on ISA 2000.
Regards,
Simon Gurner.
