Hello Richard,
Thank you for posting here. Let's also thank Cris for the input.
According to your description, I understand that you want to set ISA server
2004 reports to report traffic of the SBS clients. If I have misunderstood
the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Based on my research, I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can
resolve this issue:
1. You can configure the content to include in any report. The following
type of content can be included in a report:
a. Summary. When you include summary content, the report includes
summarized information about network traffic usage, sorted by application.
These reports are most relevant to the network administrator or the person
managing or planning a company's Internet connectivity.
b. Web usage. When you include Web usage content, the report displays
information about top Web users, common responses, and browsers. These
reports are most relevant to the network administrator or the person
managing or planning a company's Internet connectivity. It shows how the
Web is being used in a company.
c. Application usage. When you include application usage content, the
report illustrates Internet application usage information about top users,
client applications, and destinations.
d. Traffic and utilization. When you include traffic and utilization
content, the report illustrates total Internet usage by application,
protocol, and direction. These reports also show average traffic and peak
simultaneous connections, cache hit ratio, errors, and other statistics.
e. Security. When you include security content, the report lists attempts
to breach network security.
2. To configure report contents for a report job
a. In the console tree of ISA Server Management, click Monitoring:
a) For ISA Server 2004 Enterprise Edition, expand Microsoft Internet
Security and Acceleration Server 2004, expand Arrays, expand Array_Name,
and then click Monitoring.
b) For ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition, expand Microsoft Internet Security
and Acceleration Server 2004, expand Server_Name, and then click Monitoring.
b. In the details pane, click the Reports tab.
c. On the Tasks tab, click Create and Configure Report Jobs.
d. Select the applicable report job, and then click Edit.
e. On the Content tab, select which of the following reports should be
generated:
Summary
Web usage
Application usage
Traffic and utilization
Security
3. If the built-in ISA server 2004 reports unable to achieve your
requirement, you can try to find the third-party solutions.
These third-party solutions review traffic through Internet Security and
Acceleration (ISA) Server and allow you to develop reports that can be used
for departmental charge backs, identifying inappropriate usage, and
categorizing Internet use. These independent companies offer ISA
Server-compatible and complementary third-party solutions.

I hope these steps will give you some help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
