I find most of the problems I run into are usually addressed by the emails
you send out. I appreciate your help immensely, if you are ever in Iowa and
in need of some carbonated refreshments of your choice let me know and I can
make sure you are setup.
Flattery aside, here is the problem I see with this. We are using ISA for a
proxy server only. We have a third party firewall, and ISA will sit behind
that. So basically we are just doing web proxy services for the enterprise
with ISA. This will serve as a server that does nothing more then web proxy
services. So when you think of that, the extraneous log entries (it seems
to double each entry, one for anonymous, one for authenticated) are doing
nothing really then creating really big log files and sapping memory to
provide them.
As for the reporting, that is not a big problem, I can eliminate them in our
reporting structure. I'm more worried about initial size and overhead for
reporting.
This make sense or did I ramble again?
Thanks - Carl W. Smith

That's a quote from one of my responses (I feel so famous, now).
The component that's using the default behavior is every browser that's been
written in the last few years, not the ISA itself.
Consequently, the task of disabling this default behavior isn't one I care
to take on..
ISA should log everything it sees. If the very basic ISA reports are
bugging you, then you'll want to investigate a third-party solution.

I read through the emails, poked on the site, and I could find an answer so
I will pose it here, because I'm sure I missed it:
When a browser sends a Get request for a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to
the proxy server, the browser first attempts an anonymous connection. If
authentication is required, there are additional requests made by the client
computer that pass these credentials to ISA Server. Each of these requests
are recorded in the logs of ISA Server.
By default, each request sent to ISA Server is logged, which can include
both unsuccessful and successful attempts.
What I'm wondering is the words, "by default". Can you turn this off? I
can find where or how to do it if it is at all possible. This is a general
question in relation to ISA and W3C logs. Please help.
Thanks -- Carl W. Smith
