Your ISA-local-only osql connection is thus (typed exactly): osql -E -S%ComputerName%\msfw It only accepts secure login (SSPI) and you have to specify the server\instance as above. After that, you should be jes' fine, jes' fine.

I've been working on some utilities to extract the information I need and I'm unable to attach. What I can do is shut down the services on my ISA box and then copy the Db's and look At them one at a time. And what is the default SQLDB name(instance) MSSQL$MSFW? Thank you, Joseph ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx All mail to and from this domain is GFI-scanned.
