MessageWell... "remote" is a dangerous phrase.. If it's over-the-Internet remote, then I'd very strongly recommend that you use terminal services with high encryption or even TS over a VPN. MMC through ISA is fraught with problems because of the RPC dependencies you'll face.

I want MMC management from a remote location. So what else do I need to enable in order to provide MMC management apart from a filter to allow 1433 TCP connections? -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 5:16 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: SQL Server issue... http://www.ISAserver.org I was asking what applications and connections you're trying to support. Port 1433 isn't of any use for MMC management to SQL as it also requires RPC communications. The remote clients will have to use TCP/IP as their default network connection library; named pipes connections will fail.

What do you mean? Is there anything wrong with what I'm stating... -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2002 5:03 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: SQL Server issue... http://www.ISAserver.org SQL can't be accessed using what? TCP-1433 is only the default SQL client connection port for DB usage via TCP/IP. That doesn't allow MMC management or Named Pipes DB connections.

When I enable IP Packet filtering SQL cannot be accessed from external although I set the a packet filter to enable access on the 1433 port on a specific range of IPs. What should I do?
