Hi Manoj,

Let me understand your situation correctly.
You have the Project Server Front-end, Views Processing and Session Mgmt
on the same server with ISA 2004 Enterprise Edition. Is this correct?

If so, you should be aware that installing a Web server on a Firewall is
not advisable. While I understand budget constraints and unrealistic
expectations from Management, any Firewall (ISA Server) should not have
ANY applications installed on it. Doing so, especially a web server
(like PWA) is inviting serious security problems.

I'm trying to locate an ISA Server 2004 Best Practices document for you
so you can make your case to separate these two enterprise applications
and have their own server.

But to answer your question, you cannot publish a web server on the same
server that has ISA Server. It just won't work.

Good Luck

There are a couple of documents regarding to not installing a web server
on ISA Server

Can I ask you why you can't separate them?

Is this an internal server?
or an external server that will be connected to the Internet?
