Resolution

To resolve this issue, verify that the ODBC DSN is configured correctly and the database is accessible:
  1. In the ISA Management MMC, expand the ISA Server computer, expand "Monitoring Configuration," and then click Logs. The "Packet Filters" component corresponds to the "Microsoft ISA Server Control service". The "ISA Server Firewall service" corresponds to the "Microsoft Firewall" service. The "ISA Server Web Proxy Service" corresponds to the "Microsoft Web Proxy" service.
  2. Right-click the appropriate component, and then click Properties. Verify that the Database section is using a valid DSN, and that the DSN is set up correctly.
  3. Verify that the Use this account box contains a valid database account, that is, a Windows NT account that has permissions to log on to the database.

    NOTE: Although the Use this accountoption is necessary if you are using Microsoft Windows NT authentication in the DSN, you do not have to fill out the Use this account box with a user name and password
