Setup TMG 2010

I think you need to get trained on the product before installing it in the production environment.

Answers:

1. I need to setup TMG 2010 on our infrastructure. Which would be used as proxy.
TMG is by default works as proxy server on port 8080.

2. need to configure TMG so that exchange 2010 SAN certificate works properly.
Export the san certificate from Exchange server with the private key  and import it into TMG server. create a publish mail server rule and OWA rule and use that certificate in the listener.

3.need to allow rdp traffic to a particular server.
Create a new computers objects with these servers IPs then create a rule from internal to those computers objects selceting Remote desktop protocol for all user.... but if these servers belongs to the  internal networking address range, no need to do anything on TMG.

Thanks guys

If I choose the network as edge topology can we later change it to  3-leg permiter

Yes you can.

but it is better to make a good network design to match your requirement before installing ISA.

Thanks Siliman
does TMG come in  32 bit and 64bit. I am trying to download 64 bit trail but can't find any where.

It is only 64 bit product.

I am not using AMD processor. for intel their is only 32 bit in the link that you posted.

The 32 one is only the management console.

Thanks Suliman

Yesterday I started deploying TMG, installation went fine. Stragely I don't get option to pick up the topology its greyed out.
After couple of minutes I lost rdp access. ping wouldn't respond. I don't have console access. Can any one tell what could have happened.

It could be that you changed the network topology and network relations between network entities. any wrong config there for sure will cause such issues.

it is recommended to configure network topology and relations using the console.

By default ISA/TMG configured as edge firewall (one internal network and everything else is external- except VPN and local host).

how are you trying to connect to the server ? externally  from the public ip ? or using vpn ?

I am conencting the server using rdp from the internal LAN.Let me explain to you in detail.
The server has lan network card with IP: 10.81.37.10/255.255.255.240 and out actual internal LAN for all server is 10.81.38.0-255 so in the internel networks I added 10.81.37.0-10.81.38.255. After that I lost the rdp connection.
Alos in the network card priority public NIc is on the top followed by the internal NIC. public NIC has default gateway and internal NIC doesn't have a gateway.

are you trying to connect from internal range ?

do you have an access rule to allow rdp from internal to localhost ?

yesy I am trying to connect from internally.
I haven't setup any thing on TMG but it was all working before I installed TMG.

If you setup TMG remotely it will add your IP address to the remote management group, so you can configure it.

please check if you client IP address changed ? if it is DHCP client .

Thanks for you patience
Sorry its static IP address. Weird thing is I can't even ping it. Could  that be TMG acting as a firewall and blocking every thing. I don't have console access to check what really happened .Probably would get some time today.

emmmmmmmm

Please do the following, it could help to find out if the server is alive in the network:

from cmd:

1. arp -d * ( felete arp cache)
2. ping the server with IP
3. arp -a

If you found that the ip address is listed in arp table then the server is running, if not then the server is not reachable ( turned of of NIC problem)

And you are welcome :)

I am going to bed now , it is 3 AM here.

will post back tomorrow.

Thanks once again Siliman.
Will keep you updated.

This is what happened

thanks for the update.

So that solved the issue ?

no, Sorry I don't have good networking background
I am really confused whether to use edge firewall topology or 3-leg.
I struck the TMG server has 2 private NIC and one public NIC. Read some document about ISA andit said you can't use 3-leg if you don't have public IP for the permiter network.Is that ture.

It depends...
whats your requirement ? what you are try to achieve ?

Usually, web server (apps) are installed in the permeter networks with a public IPs.

Is their going to be issues if I configure as edge topolgy

Thanks Suliman
All working fine now

Most welcome !
