isa 2006 & tmg query
hi as a learning curve/test, ive configured a win 2003 domain platform attached to a win 2003/2 nic - 'isa 2006' standard via netgear router box direct to internet successfully providing internet access for internal domain users and a successful remote vpn.
my next task is to learn and configure the 'site-to-site vpn/branch office etc
note: currently i only have 32bit machines and have setup in the passed a windows 2008 32 bit basic user domain for learning curve.
note: i am aware tmg 2012 requires a win 2008/64 bit platform as not supported on win 2003!!
note: forefront tmg is not supported on all editions of windows server 2008
- Installation of forefront tmg is only supported in standard, enterprise and datacenter edition and is not supported on windows server core!
i am now reading 'url':
-http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Microsoft-Forefront-TMG-UAG-feature-comparison.html
question 1. am i understanding below correct that i should do the following:
- 'export' my isa 2006/standard and save
- complete fresh install of - TMG_ENU_Management_x86
- lastly 'import' - saved isa 2006/standard configurations
"In-place upgrade from ISA Server 2004/2006 to Forefront TMG is not supported
- You have to export the ISA Server configuration and to import this configuration on a fresh TMG installation" - ?
question 2.
what is the difference between isa 2006 & forefront tmg ?
question 3.
as i have downloaded both 'evaluation copies' im trying to understand when i should use:
- isa 2006 enterprise - ?
or
- TMG_ENU_Management_x86 - ?
it would be appreciated if i could get a specific answer to each of the 3 questions above so will have some direction as i have chosen to learn step by step and eventually evolve across to 'tmg 2012' when i have 64 bit machines!! :)

yes i do have a win 2008 32bit as i already at the end of last year configured it as 'dc/dns/dhcp', with gpmc/software installed automatically onto a client machine just to test and that was it just to get familiar with the 'os'! it is not installed now though!!
i have no spare 'server' yet until ive finished with isa 2006 standard

OK - the 32-bit beta copy of TMG was three years ago now but I am pretty sure that was the name of it. The size of the x86 file might help to point it out whether this is just the management part (whiis lterally just the management piece or the full beta version before it went to 64-bit only.

ok. thanks for that!!
i will now look into 'site-to-site vpn' and 'branch office' or whatever with isa 2006 standard. once done can you tell me what i should be doing with isa 2006 enterprise although other than linking multiple sites to do what isa 2006 standard does, im not sure ?
im gonna call it a night now until tomorrow!!
thanks for replying!!:)

when you say: "The tmg_enu_management_x86 is NOT FTMG, it is the management system". - what should i do with it although old as you say (dont forget only learning curve for me in the visual sense also as never clapped eyes on isa products at all until you've assisted me ?
until i can evolve/afford 64 bit!!
also this comment below is stated in the 'url' in my main thread above:
