I would send out a blanket email anyway, just to cover yourself. Anything in a live production environment is flying by the seat of your pants. I tend to live that way, but have suffered the consequences when things did not go right. Try and do it during non-peak hours is my recommendation.

I want to configure this during working hours (can't be arsed to come in on the weekend). Basically I'm asking if I do the above do I have to fail over right away or could I do the fail over remotely over the weekend, but make the change ont he active node? Hola Mate,

When you move the virtual directories, do so on the active node, then fail over to the other node and repeat. As for ISA, I'm not too sure, we use Cisco on the edge of our network, and I haven't had the pleasure of working with ISA. Just try the above procedure and ping me back with what you get for results. If you do have to make changes in ISA, please enlighten me. I wasn’t too clear about which order to install on the nodes, was I?

One more concern does ISA needs any changes after configuring RPC/HTTP? Cheers! Jag Hi Mate,
