Okay, I've spent awhile cleaning up the server, trying to figure out
what is going on... No success yet.  

The ERRORLOG file keeps growing, filling with entries like this (the
last ten entries):
2006-02-27 22:22:49.11 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060218_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:49.23 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060219_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:49.36 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060220_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:49.48 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060221_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:49.59 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060222_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:49.73 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060223_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:49.92 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060224_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:50.16 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060225_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:50.24 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060226_WEB_000'.
2006-02-27 22:22:50.33 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060228_WEB_001'.

The log files referenced are present (Yes, on another drive), and it
appears that the SQL server can see them.  I.e., I had it set for 60
days retention, and when I changed it down to 30 days half of the files
disappeared.

I see no other messages about MSDE errors, just these recurring messages
about starting up the database.  The entries are not as numerous now
that I set it down to 30 days retention, but they are still adding up.

Not really, the OS and mostly static data is on a mirrored drive C:,
while all the SQL data for ISA and SurfControl is on a separate RAID 5
array/drive.

From looking at the error logs, it looks like it is writing
approximately 111 entries at one minute intervals that go something like
this:

2006-02-27 09:52:31.35 spid52    Starting up database
'ISALOG_20060226_WEB_000'.

All are very similar, half are WEB, and the other half are FWS, and the
date changes, going back to Dec of 2005.  Starts once a minute, and runs
four about 30 seconds, then starts again the next minute.  

This explains the size of the log files, I'm assuming those databases
cannot be located?

You've built your ISA with a single partition?
Why would you do such a thing?  ISA logs everything it sees.  This can
make for some *intense* disk activity when the server is handling heavy
load.

Beyond that, basic server performance and stability requirements dictate
that you separate your pagefile, OS and application data and logging to
separate partitions if not completely separate spindles.

*NeverEverEver* risk running out of space on your OS drive.
This is major pain just waiting to happen.

Servers I build (regardless of purpose):
C: = at least 4x physical RAM, but not less than 4GB; holds only static
pagefile and occasional temp data
D: = at least 3 times the total requirements stated by the OS and
applications, for the OS and applications only
E: and above = application data and / or logging; size dependent on
application requirements

Rebuild that bad boy and give it the resources it needs to operate
properly.

The GB of logs in the errorlog folder indicates that you've been
ignoring errors from MSDE.  Take a gander at the latest ones to see what
MSDE has been trying to tell you.

They were stored on the C: drive, which was down to only 50MB of free
space.  I suppose that was the problem?

I cleaned it up a bit, and got 1.5GB of free space now, but was
wondering about the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$MSFW\LOG
folder, there is almost another gig of "ERRORLOG" files in there, do I
need to keep these?

That error code resolves to "Insufficient system resources exist to
complete the requested service."

Where are you publishing the report "to"?
Was that resource available when the report was being generated?

Got this error message this morning, where do I look up the cause?

The report, "Daily", could not be published. Use the source location
1200.484.4.0.2165.594 to report the failure.
 The failure is due to error: 0x800705aa
