How to obtain the latest ISA Server 2004 service pack
After you install the appropriate service pack, run the following
Microsoft Visual Basic script to configure the SOCKS filter idle connection
time-out value to an appropriate value.
Note To determine the appropriate time-out value, use the following
equation:
Timeout (seconds) = file size / download speed * 1.2
For example, to determine the appropriate time-out
value to download a 200-megabyte (MB) file at 1 megabits per second (Mbps), use
the following equation:
200*8 / 1 * 1.2 = 1920 seconds
You must calculate the value to use individually.
Note The idle connection time-out setting helps free unused resources
so that resource-related issues do not occur. Therefore, we recommend that you
do not increase the time-out setting unnecessarily. If you use a time-out
setting that is less than the default 120 seconds, you can also create
unexpected issues.
To change the time-out setting, follow these
steps:
Note You must install the appropriate service pack before you can
follow these steps.
- Click Start, point to All
Programs, point to Accessories, and then click
Notepad.
- Copy and paste the following code into a new Notepad
document. Then, save the code to the ISA Server 2004-based computer or to the ISA Server 2006-based computer. To do this, use
a file name that has a .vbs extension such as
SetSocksIdleTimeout.vbs.

- This script uses the default time-out value of 120 seconds.
Change the time-out value to the setting that you want, and then save the
script.
- Double-click the .vbs file to run the script.
After you run this script, the new time-out value is applied to
new SOCKS connections that are made through ISA Server 2004 or through ISA Server 2006.
To
change back to the default time-out value, change the value back to 120 seconds
in the script, save the change, and then run the script again.
