Hi Greg, No problem. I think I was reflexively responding to the PIX wanker that lives in my head :) IIRC, someone did come up with something like this for ISA Server 2000, but I don't remember where I saw it. Of course, that's not much use to anyone :( Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- ISA Firewalls -----Original Message----- From: Greg Mulholland [mailto:greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2005 7:51 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA-SQL logging http://www.ISAserver.org I agree that it shouldn't be serving firewall clients if it cant log, and that it doesn't matter whether its sql or text based logging. my query was if anyone had automated the restart of the services after the sql server comes back up rather than having to start them manually, I would be interested to hear from 'em.. I didn't reall class it as a bug, maybe I should have been clearer.

No fix.

Why you ask! if I bounce the SQL box, maybe for patching or if its on another machine with a network in between that may have an issue, ISA breaks, but when the SQL box reappears the service has to be restarted manually. Anyone automated this?
