The Microsoft docs for setting up ISA04 to SQL don't work if you are running ISA 2004 Enterprise Edition. If I had more experience using SQL - maybe this would be a no brainer - but that ain't the case and I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

It just seems that rather than configuring a DSN for the connection, the EE logging configuration "directly" accesses the SQL box, which seems a bit surprising, but is obviously the case. But not withstanding the difference in DSN/direct config, what is the actual issue here? What doesn't work? t ----- "I'll see your Llama and up you a Badger."

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.

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.

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.
