Talk:Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway

Weasel Words?

Just thought the following needed noting: "Thanks to the rich SDK, ISA Server is a very extensible platform which has many 3rd party plug-ins and extensions available for it." -silentrancor2 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.12.220.12 (talk) 20:25, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Microsoft Ad

I thought this article read like a pure advertising flyer from Microsoft and tried labeling it "db-spam". However an administrator disagreed. How about marking it "advert" until someone rewrites it from a neutral point of view. TundraGreen (talk) 04:16, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Microsoft Puffery

The following phrase in this article looks like Microsoft puffery. Is it really necessary?

As Microsoft's flagship security product, ISA Server is well positioned to take on the firewall/VPN market. It's interoperability with other Microsoft products provides a lower TCO for customers that already have a Microsoft infrastructure in place.

• I agree; it violates Wikipedia:Neutral point of view

POV

This article reads like a corporate (kamlesh ) flyer, I am sure it's more or less accurate, but a security product from microsoft must have some issues.

I much agree, no product is perfect. The only reason I read this page was because a friend gave me a link to details on a security hole, but I did not know what ISA was. To read about how it is such a great security product is a joke after reading that security advisory. --

• • To quote an article refering to a security advisory for a product that is well off the market (ISA 2000) is not excactly fair. If I was to publish every security advisory for Cisco/Checkpoint etc for the last 7 years thsi discussion could go on a while. That said, the article needs substantial updating.

• I cleaned up the adverty parts of the article. It sounds though as if it could actually have been from a Microsoft ad itself. If someone wants to rewrite the adverty parts and translate them into something encyclopedic, then by all means, go ahead. - Damicatz 02:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Network-templates large.gif

Image:Network-templates large.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Contradiction

The article says Proxy Server v2.0 was launched in 1997, but the timeline says 1999. Riki 13:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Forward cache, reverse, or both?

This is linked from "web cache", which only talks about caches for browsers. I thought this was actually a reverse cache (i.e. a front end for servers), but I'm unable to determine this from the text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ketil (talk • contribs) 09:25, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Both. Unless it's changed in the new version.218.214.18.240 (talk) 09:47, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

No change. It's both. I just kept it simple for the reader and didn't mention them. Fleet Command (talk) 17:27, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

SIP, upnp

Apparently the current version allows applications like Apple Facetime. ISA 2004 does not, since it does not have a method of dynamically opening and forwarding inward ports, (and no application filter was ever written for Facetime or VOIP-SIP). Is this correct? What features does the current version of Forefront have? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.214.18.240 (talk) 11:45, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

ISA Server 2004? Really? I don't about 2004 but 2006 did this. But our experiences won't count. We need reliable sources on this. Fortunately, there are a lot of books on ISA Server. Maybe you can find something on this in that Deb Schinder's book.

As for other features, it can be outfitted with a gateway antivirus and it caches BITS traffic. Fleet Command (talk) 18:07, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

HTTPS Inspection not mentioned

Why no mention of this key feature? Come to think of it, this article is pretty short and reads almost like a company white sheet in several paragraphs. Requesting expansion!  ;) 75.70.89.124 (talk) 21:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
