A. By default, Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2000 uses 50 percent of the available memory for a RAM-based proxy cache. To modify the amount ISA Server uses, perform the following steps:

  1. Start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) ISA Server Admin snap-in (Start, Programs, Microsoft ISA Server, ISA Management).

  2. Right-click the Cache Configuration branch, and select Properties.

  3. Select the Advanced tab.

  4. For "Percentage of free memory to use for caching," change the number from 50 (the default) to the value you want (e.g., 5).

  5. Click OK. When the system prompts you, choose to either save changes but not restart the service or save changes and restart the service. Click OK.
