How to Configure ISA SSL Bridging for System Center Configuration Manager Internet-Based Client Management – the real story…
I see links all over about this new piece of documentation released. But, there’s a really good story here that I think a lot of us are missing. This is a great story about how Microsoft listens and reacts to community feedback – at least the documentation team for System Center Configuration Manager does.
As a community, we’ve worked with this team for a long, long while. The lines of communication have always been two-way and the partnership has always been fruitful and valuable.
For example…here’s the actual announcement from Carol Bailey about the new docs to Ed and Mike at 1E…posted by Ed to the SMS list today…

Subject: [mssms] ISA Server and Configuration Manager Internet-Based Client Management
FYI!! Here’s an early announcement of a work long needed… Mike Terrill and I started working on this by raising the issue with the Doc team several months ago, and now we have the finished product…
This is an excellent example of collaboration between the Community and several different internal groups within Microsoft to put out a quality product… KUDOS to all involved!
