To specify an alternate Configuration Storage
server (Enterprise Edition)
ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition only
In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click the
applicable array:
Expand Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration
Server 2006, expand Arrays, and then click
Array_Name.
On the Tasks tab, click Configure Array
Properties.
On the Configuration Storage tab, in Alternate
Configuration Storage server, type the computer name or IP
address of the alternate Configuration Storage server to be used by
this array. This server will be used if the primary Configuration
Storage server fails.
Note
To open ISA Server Management, click Start, point to
All Programs, point to Microsoft ISA Server, and then
click ISA Server Management.
Important
After the primary Configuration Storage server is unavailable
for 30 minutes, ISA Server switches to an alternate Configuration
Storage server, if it is specified. After using the alternate
Configuration Storage server for 6 hours, ISA Server periodically
checks if the primary Configuration Storage server is available.
After the primary server is available for 10 minutes, the array
switches to the primary Configuration Storage server.
The times specified in this procedure are the defaults. They can be
configured using the ISA Server Software Development Kit
(SDK). For a sample script that configures these defaults, see
Setting Configuration Storage Server Delay Times at the
Microsoft TechNet Web site(http://www.microsoft.com/).
If the alternate server is unavailable for thirty minutes, the
array will switch to the primary Configuration Storage server, if
it is available.
