SYMPTOMS

If you install the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004 firewall client program, changes that you make in the program after installation are not applied to some users.

Back to the top

This behavior occurs because the settings that you specify during the firewall client program installation are applied to all users. Any settings that you specify in the Firewall Client dialog box after you install the firewall client program are applied only to the client computer.

Manually change the Common.ini and Management.ini firewall client files. The Common.ini and Management.ini files are located in the following folder:
