As I possibly misspelled or misremembered it, the PL15ws2p.dll (possible sic) file was installed as a Winsock Layered Service Provider on a couple of boxes at a customer site. Coincidentally, these machines were Windows Server 2008 machines where we couldn’t Read More...

ISA Server 2006 on Windows Server 2008: Nup
05 June 09 02:52 AM | tristank | 1 Comments

Home Hyper-V Networking Gotchas

The Cat's Out Of The Bag: ISA Server will become ForeFront TMG
09 April 08 05:21 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   

So, we all know that ISA 2006 doesn't work on Windows Server 2008 . Massive architectural changes to the IP stack, blah blah, etc, etc. People (uh, yeah, just "people") have been asking about what's to become of ISA Server for a while: "There's Read More...
