Important

By disabling a filter, you disable application filtering for the applicable protocols. The recommended method of disabling application filtering is by not applying the filter to a specific protocol.
For ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition, add-ins can be enabled at the array level and at the enterprise level. When an add-in is enabled at the enterprise level, it is also applied to each array. Add-ins enabled at the enterprise level cannot be disabled at the array level. When an add-in is disabled at the enterprise level, the add-in can be enabled by the array administrator for each array.
You cannot disable the PPTP Filter and Web Proxy Filter add-ins.
