Hello,

Task Manager at my ISA Server shows me 'sqlservr.exe' process and MSSQL$MSFW
service started at my Service Manager. I suppose that MSSQL$MSFW is a hidden
SQL
Server MSDE instance that is repronsible for ISA MSDE logging

The question is - can I connect to this instance with either SQL Server
Enterprise Manager or
SQL Server Query Analyzer?

TIA,
Vsevolod
