My servers will not setup as Domain or Domain Member only normal server (Can
I setup this way?).To my understanding, the Proxy Server should install with
ISA in Win2K but do not know whether Win2003 Server need to install ISA or
is bastion replaced ISA server.

Proxy server
1. Does ISA need to install in win2003 Proxy server or Bastion has replace
ISA server? or Proxy need both ISA and Bastion.

Web/App server
1. Will I need Legacy Client - MemberServer Baseline.inf, if my web/app
server is not a Domain member, Domain controller, just normal stand alone
server.

Base on my setup,in your opion what will you use the security template or
policy for server as stated below. Please advices

Proxy server
1.
2.
3.

Web/Appl Server
1.
2.
3.
