http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- There's 4 or 5 MSDE instances on most SBS servers and they are probably not all at the same patch level or version. I suspect that is part of the problem. thanks, Amy Babinchak Harbor Computer Services |(248) 850-8616 Tech Blog http://securesmb.harborcomputerservices.net Client Blog http://smalltechnotes.blogspot.com Website http://www.harborcomputerservices.net Buy My House http://tinyurl.com/5gb5n8 -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Harrison Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 9:26 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: SQL Update http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- Yep - Susan reported this to the SQL team and I worked with them to validate this. I never had a repro anywhere near as long as she describes (~5 mins) and the SQL folks were never able to answer conclusively why it took so long. -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amy Babinchak Sent: Friday, July 11, 2008 4:27 AM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: SQL Update http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- And I hear that it is taking a long time for the patch to stop and start the services...like 15 minutes long. You just have to sit and wait. SBS people have an obsession with patching and they are getting burned by impatience on this one. thanks, Amy Babinchak Harbor Computer Services |(248) 850-8616 Tech Blog http://securesmb.harborcomputerservices.net Client Blog http://smalltechnotes.blogspot.com Website http://www.harborcomputerservices.net Buy My House http://tinyurl.com/5gb5n8 -----Original Message----- From: isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:isalist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Harrison Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2008 8:57 PM To: isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isalist] Re: SQL Update http://www.ISAserver.org ------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, the KBs are lagging the patches lately. For ISA Servers, 1. if you don't install "Advanced logging", ISA doesn't use or install MSDE 2. if you do install Advanced Logging (installed by default): a. the ISA MSDE instance cannot listen on the network b. no ISA policies allow traffic to the ISA-local SQL c. there is no web application accessing ISA-local SQL. If any of these facts change, install the SQL patch at your earliest off-hours opportunity. Otherwise, do it at your leisure. If ISA uses MSDE logging, installation of this patch *will* cause the ISA services to stop, but the patch installer will attempt to restart them.
