Cleanup of ISA rules in ISA server 2004 and 2006

Hi Team

how could i know, which rules are actively working and which rules are not being used in ISA server 2004 and 2006 . based on this we are going to disable the rule initially and delete the rules which is currently not being used in later stage. since we have lot rules in ISA , we need to segregate this 

Could you please able to help me

Hi,

You could monitor the ISA logs to exclude some rules are still in use. Then check the other rules.
