ISA Server 2006 Operations Guide

While reviewing other Technical Blogs this morning I came across an entry by Dr. Thomas Shinder who identified the online version of the ISA Operations Guide.  It turns out I was researching a 'general purpose' operations guide for several clients focused on ISA 2006 EE, so the timing was terrific!  Although this Operations Guide is fairly general in its content, I would (and am) recommending it as an operational reference.  A quick read of this Guide denotes some of the 'Daily, Weekly and Monthly' operational procedures required to support ISA 2006 EE in production.  Again, a worthwhile reference for the many ISA 2006 EE installations in data centers across the globe.

One important resource I would callout to your attention that many IT Professionals overlook, is the Microsoft Technet Events and Error Message Center.  This online resource allow lookup, by product and event id the various event ids associated with configuring Microsoft Products.
