OK-- I'm with you now... Other than the DSN thing, everything else should be
the same. Since you are using Windows Auth (which is good) just make sure
you create a logon for the machine names (like MYDOMAIN\ISA1$ and
MYDOMAIN\ISA2$) so that the machine authentication will work.
I should warn you, though... The default .sql script that comes with ISA
creates a table structure that is not efficient regarding storage space. Be
prepared for HUGE databases if you are logging any data of substance. I've
actually had to create a whole sub-structure to parse data and post it into
my own table design and delete "raw" data after a pre-defined time period.
You might also look at disabling "lock-down" mode, as ISA logging to SQL is
not tolerant of logging delays.

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.

SE servers can also share the same SQL DB, as can any SQL client... 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?

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.

There is no ODBC data source (DSN) box, this is what I get: http://ftp.yunker.com/isa/isa.jpg
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.

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".

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
