Config ISA Server 2006 to allow SSL on a port different of 443 and 563

By default, SSL work on port 443 and 563, when you need access and URL using SSL with differnt port and using ISA Server 2006, you need to configurate the Web Proxy to allo that port.

For that, create a file with the extension .vbs and copy the next code to the file:

' Define the constants needed.
Const NewRangeName = "SSL 3520"
Const NewRangePort = "3520"
' Create the root object.
Dim root ' The FPCLib.FPC root object
Set root = CreateObject("FPC.Root")
'Declare the other objects needed.
Dim isaArray ' An ISA Server array object
Dim tpRanges ' An FPCTunnelPortRanges collection
Dim newRange ' An FPCTunnelPortRange object
' Get a reference to the array and to
' the collection of tunnel port ranges.
Set isaArray = root.GetContainingArray()
Set tpRanges = isaArray.ArrayPolicy.WebProxy.TunnelPortRanges
' Create a new tunnel port range.
Set newRange = tpRanges.AddRange(NewRangeName, NewRangePort, NewRangePort)
' Save the changes to the collection of tunnel port ranges
' with fResetRequiredServices set to True to restart the Firewall service.
tpRanges.Save True

'end file



Before save the file, replace the number 3520 for the desired port number, i.e. 4886, save the file and execute on the server where ISA Server is running.


That's all.

Sharepoint Crawl schedule

The sharepoint uses a crawl schedule to index the files uploaded, by default, this crawl task run every 5 minutes.
If you have the SharePoint Database on a shared server, maybe the performance is down, because this task use the HDD.

To avoid this, you can change the Schedule, going to the Central Administration -> Operations -> Services on Server -> Windows Sharepoint Services Search, and modifiying the Indexing Schedule.
