Upgrade can be hard. This means installing new TMG and re-creating your rules from scratch.<br />
Import does not always work as you expected.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of some pro's and con's in regards to upgrading from ISA 2004 to ForeFront TMG. <br />
<br />
We currently have ISA 2004 installed on a single server as a internet management box. We are looking at what FF TMG will give us more and how hard it would be upgrade.<br />
<br />
Thanks

ISA 2004 and ForeFront TMG

Microsoft Forefront, formerly known as Internet Security and Acceleration Server (ISA Server), is a network router, firewall, antivirus program, VPN server and web cache that runs on Windows servers. It includes identity management and protection systems, and discontinued systems for threat management and network protection, along with protection for Sharepoint and Exchange. The scope of discussions includes forward and reverse proxy, application and service publishing, virtual private networks (VPNs), outbound access rules, SSL certificates and network routing within either a single node or an highly-available array pairing.
