Consider the following, assuming intelligent ISA policies...
- SQL operating with ISA uses "x" machine resources and is protected by ISA.
- SQL as a guest of Vx with ISA uses "x" and "y" machine resources and *may
not* be protected by ISA.
..your call...

Hi list,
I know the drill, there should not be any other software on the same box as ISA
2004, even Anti Virus software on the same box is questioned/critiqued. Oh and
'firewalls have 2 NICS' ;)
However, maybe the following is also somewhat permissible like the AV
discussion:
Scenario 1:
We would like for ISA to log to SQL 2005, instead of bringing up a new box and
only installing SQL 2005, what does the list suppose of installing MS Virtual
Server 2005 R2 on the same box as ISA 2004, and running SQL 2005 in 1 Virtual
Server on ISA?
Our ISA server does not appear that overly worked, has plenty of RAM, most of
which is being consumed by MSDE logging. This way ISA is almost the 'only'
software installed on Windows 2003 Server (besides Virtual Server). Yes each
OS, and even SQL will have their own SCSI HD array spindles. SQL will also get
its own NIC…or using Virtual Server, I suppose an 'internal Virtual Network'
can be used to communicate with ISA?...
Scenario 2: (Less likely to transpire.)
Perhaps a Virtual Machine on ISA is not necessary, and we can install SQL 2005
'side by side' next to ISA on the same box? Since we do not want to log
anything else to this SQL instance, obviously all ports that SQL uses will
remain 'closed' to the local host (which would also be ISA). Can ISA SQL
logging connect to a local SQL Server engine (not MSDE)?
-------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if this is going to be regarded the same as having ISA installed along
with Domain Controllers, or ISA with Exchange =). But I'm thinking SQL running
in a Virtual Server on ISA using Virtual internal networks would suffice?
Thanks again list!
Edgardo
