Yeh - I got that - ISA 2000 doesn't have a "monitoring" tab.
You're right though; that was for SE, not EE.

Because EE servers can share a single DB, they dropped the DSN mechanism.
What this means is that you can point all your array members to the same SQL SB.

Send mail to isadocs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with your comments.

There is no ODBC data source (DSN) box, this is what I get:

As stated before this is a ISA 2004EE - not an ISA 2000 install.  No problems 
finding where to enter ODBC information in the ISA 2000 install. 

Thanks,
Bret

It's part of the <service> logging properties dialog.
If you:
- Open the ISA manglement cornsoul
- expand <ArrayName>
- select "Monitoring"
- select the "Logging" tab
- in the "Task" pane on the right, click "Configure <service> Logging"

Ta-daa...

That I know.  What is puzzling me is why in Microsoft's documentation (article 
838710) for logging ISA 04 to a SQL 2000 it says to "type the DSN in the ODBC 
data source (DSN) box."

There is no such box on my ISA 2004EE install - unless I am just a
dumba--
which is possible.

Thanks

ODBC and DSN configurations are part of "Administrative Tools", "Data Sources".

http://www.ISAserver.org

We have a ISA 2004EE box on our test network and would like to log to a SQL 
2000 database.  However, Microsoft's article 838710 in the "How to configure 
ISA Server 2004 to log information to an SQL Server database"
section, line six refers to a "ODBC data source (DSN) box."  This box does not 
exist in my installation (under Firewall logging > options).  I have boxes to 
enter a server, port, database, table, user and password.
 
Oddly enough, Tom's ISA 2004 book (pg 981) also refers to using ODBC data 
sources when configuring ISA to log to a SQL Server.
 
I have little experience with SQL and databases in general so I may be just 
confusing terminology.  Could someone help clear this up?  Do I even need to 
create a DSN?  Im a bit confused.
 
Thanks,
Bret
