Hi Bret, I'm sure that you know if you run this command %SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe You can create a DSN that can be used when setting up logging to SQL box. When using ISA enter the name that you created using the above command. i.e. SrvLogging Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Bret Hanson [mailto:Bhanson@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 2:06 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Confused - ISA 2004 logging to SQL 2000 docs http://www.ISAserver.org 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.

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.
