I've never been that big of a fan logging directly to SQL.
Some folks may want real time monitoring however, if you
Have something going on with you ISA box that seems like a
Hacker or something similar then by the time they get
To your ISA box. You might as well have a BBQ.

I still prefer logging to *.csv files and then importing those.
That way, I have control, don't have to rely on tweaked out 
Software that should be the same as the rest of the setups for 
The same and similar issues. MSDE 2005 might be a better choice
Later down the road. Until then, use *.csv and import via either
Script or program.

In cases like this, isn't it better to just run a dedicated instance of
SQL Server (if you got it) which resides on a separate box, OR have a
single instance of MSDE host both Databases?

If I remember correctly, MSDE is just a crippled version of SQL Server
7.0 - in which concurrent connections are just limited.  Otherwise, it's
pretty much the same animal.

In fact, since I have a dedicated super fast SQL Server on my network, I
was hoping to uninstall MSDE on the ISA Box, and redirect all the
Database activity to my SQL Server.  Can this be done - anybody do this
yet?

I don't mean to steal the fire away from your original post, but I think
this sort of parallels what I suggest doing, which goes back to the
question: "why have two instances of MSDE running?".  Use the one that
is working better (the one with less memory consumption), and host the
database on that instance.

I am just throwing out ideas here...

Anyone notice the MSDE instance for ISA 2k4 memory increase to over 1gb
mem usage?  We host two instances of MSDE on the ISA2k4 machine, one for
Surf Control and the other for ISA2K4.  Surf Control instance is stable,
while the ISA 2k4 instance hogs a lot of memory.  Current mem usage =
786,004k.  Wait, wait -- 786,012k , 786,528k and growing. 

MSDE versions:          SurfControl = 8.00.761
                        ISA2k4      = 8.00.818

Server has 3gb memory
ISA2K4 version = trial

TIA

Have fun!
