Attaching MSDE to SQL 2000 2. Running custom stored procedures 3. Generating XML from Db using stored procedures 4. Exporting Report data to PDF 5. Exporting Report data to Excel 6. Backing up MSDE a. Running maintenance plans on data b. Backing up transaction logs These are just a few quick ideas that would truly help. I would be willing to assit with this chapter since I've been studying and researching that portion of ISA for a long, long time <grin>. With my Beta 2004, I've been doing studies on the MSDE size limitations and how to backup data. Adding custom stored procedures, creating views and just seeing how the new logging features work Thank you, Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: Thomas W Shinder <mailto:tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] <mailto:isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, May 17, 2004 11:44 AM Subject: [isalist] ISA Server 2004 Book http://www.ISAserver.org Hey guys, Here's the v1.0 outline for the book.
