Great Book! No need for course with this one...
Very detailed and step by step on how to set up ISA. I read it in one weekend and set ISA up at the next. Great info!

This book saved me $$$$$
I got this book because I was tired of flying by the seat of my pants with new Microsoft products. While ISA installation is fairly simple the settings can be confusing and hard to enable. With this book I was able to fill in the gaps in my knowledge of the product. I am very glad I bought this book, it solved several potentially dangerous settings I had miss- configured and it literally saved me a ton of calls to support!!
