Forefront TMG 2010 has been built on top of the core capabilities delivered in Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004/2006 in order to deliver a comprehensive, enhanced and integrated network security gateway. Forefront TMG provide additional protection capabilities to help secure the corporate network from external/Internet-based threats. Forefront TMG 2010 prevent abuse of networks from internal and external entity. Forefront provide more management capabilities in terms security and protection. Forefront TMG 2010 is available in Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition. Standard version does not support Array/NLB/CARP support and Enterprise Management. For E-mail Protection both version requires Exchange license.
Forefront TMG 2010 provide the following enhanced protection capabilities:
Understanding Network Topology
The following Forefront TMG network topologies are available:
- Edge firewall—In this topology, Forefront TMG is located at the network edge, where it serves as the organization’s edge firewall, and is connected to two networks: the internal network and the external network (usually the Internet).
- 3-Leg perimeter—This topology implements a perimeter (DMZ) network. Forefront TMG is connected to at least three physical networks: the internal network, one or more perimeter networks and the external network.
- Back firewall—In this topology, Forefront TMG is located at the network’s back-end. Use this topology when another network element, such as a perimeter network or an edge security device, is located between Forefront TMG and the external network. Forefront TMG is connected to the internal network and to the network element in front of it.
- Single network adapter—This topology enables limited Forefront TMG functionality. In this topology, Forefront TMG is connected to one network only, either the internal network or a perimeter network. Typically, you would use this configuration when Forefront TMG is located in the internal corporate network or in a perimeter network, and another firewall is located at the edge, protecting corporate resources from the Internet.
Functionality of a single network adapter topology
The single network adapter topology enables limited Forefront TMG functionality, that includes:
- Forward (CERN) proxy for HTTP, HTTPS, and CERN proxy FTP (download only).
- Web caching for HTTP and CERN proxy FTP.
- Web publishing. HTTP-based communications, such as Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, Exchange Outlook Web Access 2007, ActiveSync®, and remote procedure call (RPC) over HTTP (Outlook Anywhere, Terminal Services Gateway or WSMAN-based traffic).
- Dial-in client virtual private network (VPN) access.
Limitations of a single network adapter topology
The following limitations apply when you use the single network adapter topology:
- Server publishing and site-to-site VPN are not supported.
- SecureNAT and Forefront TMG Client traffic are not supported.
- Access rules must be configured with source addresses that use only internal IP addresses.
- Firewall policies must not refer to the external network.
Hardware Requirements
Systems requirements depends on number of users and deployment scenario. Forefront TMG is a vital part in a ICT infrastructure. To achieve best performance, you must add best processing power and memory in TMG server however the following will give you an optimum performance.
Processor- Intel Xeon (Dual core/Quad-core/i7) or AMD Opteron (dual core/quad core). Intel Hyper-Threading Technology enabled in bios if Intel server board.
RAM-8GB
Disk Space –50GB systems partitions and 150GB logging +60GB-100GB Web caching in a separate partition. RAID 5 config would be highly recommended.
NIC- 2 Gigabit NIC with redundant config (number of NICs depends on deployment scenario)
Important! Forefront TMG has been built on 64 architecture.
Operating Systems and features
Windows Server 2008 SP2 64 bit or Windows Server 2008 R2
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Windows Web Services API
Network Policy Server.
Routing and Remote Access Services.
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Tools.
Network Load Balancing Tools.
Windows Power Shell
Windows Installer 4.5
Important! It’s not recommended to install any application or programme in TMG server other then antivirus program. It must be a dedicated server for Forefront TMG. Disable unnecessary services after installing operating systems. Install Machine Certificate from Enterprise Root CA Authority before installing TMG. TMG server must be a member of Active Directory Domain.
Installation of Forefront TMG
Prepare a 64 bit Windows Server 2008. Insert Forefront TMG DVD into the server. Run preparation tools.
Click continue on UAC authorization prompt.
Check Launch TMG installation. Click finish.
Add ranges of internal IP address For example: 10.10.10.1 to 10.10.10.255. You can as many subnet ranges as you have for internal networks.
Open Forefront TMG Management from start menu. TMG will automatically prompt you for initial configuration.
Step1: Network Setup Wizard—Use to configure network adapters on the server. Network adapters are associated with a unique Forefront TMG network. Note that you must have static IP address in all NIC of TMG server before you proceed for network settings.
This is highly important part of config because in this section you will mention what type of network topology you are going to use. Here, I am configuring De-militarized Zone (DMZ) or 3-Leg Perimeter. You have to select your desired config.
In this section, you have to select the behaviour of the traffic among internal, perimeter (DMZ) and external network. For example, My Forefront TMG 2010 server has been configured to route between internal and perimeter and NAT in between perimeter and external as I choose private networks in perimeter. So that I can hide IP addresses of my perimeter networks.
Step2: System Configuration Wizard—Use to configure operating system settings, such as computer name information and domain or workgroup settings
Step3: Deployment Wizard—Use to configure malware protection for Web traffic, and to join the customer feedback program and telemetry service.
Networks, Proxy and Update Configuration
Open Forefront TMG Management. On the left hand pan, Select Update Centre. Click configure settings on task pan. Set update policy. If you have Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) then you may select WSUS or use Microsoft update services.
Select networking>Select Networks Tab>Double click on Internal. You will be presented with Internal Properties. Configure all the tabs as shown below.
In the domain tab, add internal domain(s). For example: *.wolverine.com.au
In the web browser tab, check Bypass Proxy… and Directly Access….
Verify all your internal IP addresses you added during installation. In this window you can add more internal IP addresses if you want.
Check Publish Automatic Discovery information for the network and use port 80 as default.
In Forefront TMG Client settings, Check Enable Forefront TMG client support for this network. un-check Automatically detect settings and Use automatic scripts.., Check Use a Web proxy server
In the Web Proxy Tab, Enable HTTP and use port 80 as default. However, you can use port 8080 if you want. Click on authentication and check integrated. Click on advanced and check unlimited. Now Apply and ok.
Apply changes.
Now repeat all these config for perimeter networks as you did for internal networks.
Connecting Active Directory, DNS and DHCP
Setup connectivity with Microsoft Active Directory, DNS and DHCP. Click on monitoring>click connectivity verifiers>Click Create New Connectivity Verifier. Create connectivity for Active Directory, DNS and DHCP.
Click Next and Finish. Repeat it for DNS and DHCP. If you have a upstream Proxy, connect to upstream proxy using similar method.
Create HTTP and HTTPS rule
By default all access rules are denied. Now Create web access rules for internal networks allowing HTTP and HTTPs traffic pass through from internal network to external and perimeter. Also allow HTTP and HTTPs traffic pass through from perimeter to external and internal. Click Firewall Policy>Click Create Access Rule on Task Pan.
Test Forefront TMG Setup
Now moment of truth. Log on to a computer using domain user credential in any internal network. Setup proxy in IE connections and browse internet.
Thumps UP.
Remote Management Console Installation
Forefront TMG is 64 bit but downloadable 32 bit TMG Admin Console available on this Microsoft link
Insert the Forefront TMG DVD into the DVD drive, or run autorun.hta from the shared network drive.
On the main setup page, click Run Installation Wizard.
On the Installation Type page, select Forefront TMG Management only.
On the Installation Path page, you can change the default installation path.
On the Ready to Install the Program page, click Install.
After the installation is complete, if you want to open Forefront TMG Management select Launch Forefront TMG Management when the wizard closes.

Hello Mohsin,
You need TMG enterprize version. Once you configured primary TMG server. Then install second one, at the begining of installation it will ask you to join with another TMG Array or configuration and storage…. Once join the array, it will get all the config.
Both TMG servers must join ADDS. Otherwise you will not be able to install certificates and configure integrated authentication for internal network.

Hello Sami,
Screenshots are based on test platform. In real life, 3-leg perimeter/DMZ or Back to back DMZ, internal NIC of TMG points internal DNS server and external NIC of TMG point public DNS server if it’s single server 3 leg perimeter. But if it’s back to back then it should be like my new blog http://microsoftguru.com.au/2010/06/17/how-to-configure-back-to-back-firewall-with-perimeter-dmz-topology-step-by-step-guide/
If you can send me your network layout then I can advise with specific info.
192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 should be added in the internal network range of TMG. TMG will still have one nic in the internal side not two internal nic. You need to add vlan in layer3 switch or core switch. Please send me details of internal, perimeter and external IPs and layout. Then I advise, you can put x @the end of IP if you dont want to disclose.

Hi,
I have the following layout:
10.0.1.x as the internal lan,
and eg. 4.4.4.x as the external lan.
Now i have a hyperv host that hosts virtual machine for clients, those get 4.4.4.x range. Our internal machines (scvmm, sql, web, internal ad) etc all have 10.0.1.x ips.
We also have external AD/dns for our virtual machine clients, hosted on 4.4.4.x net.
Where should i put my TMG server? I would like to monitor the traffic from the virtual machines etc too, so i guess they need to go through the TMG as well.
Suggestions?
LikeLike
Peter,
First I dont understand what you mean by external LAN. Are you talking about external network or you have a 2nd site that you represent external lan? If you clarify these two then I give you right answer for you. whats sort of vm you hosting in hyperv?
But my guess#1: TMG for two different sites follow my new blog http://microsoftguru.com.au/2010/08/24/how-to-configure-site-to-site-vpn-using-forefront-tmg-2010/ in this situation you can put ad/dns/web in second sites and monitor and obtain report from both sites. Your hyperv must physically connecting to that 4.4.4.x vlan so that you add vm to that network.
Guess#2: Create a DMZ network for external client (in your language external lan) and placing all of them in that vlan. answer is back to back dmz or 3-leg perimeter. http://microsoftguru.com.au/2010/06/17/how-to-configure-back-to-back-firewall-with-perimeter-dmz-topology-step-by-step-guide/
If my guess is wrong then clarify those I mention earlier then I will provide perfect answer.

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. Sorry for being unclear about the setup, i’ll clarify here:
We have 3 physical servers.
1: Hyperv host contains:
– AD01/DNS Internal 10.0.1.10
– AD01/DNS Public 4.4.4.2
2: Hyperv host contains:
– AD02/DNS Internal 10.0.1.11
– AD01/DNS Public 4.4.4.3
– SQL Internal 10.0.1.12
– WEB Internal 10.0.1.13 (needs access from internet)
– API Internal 10.0.1.14 (needs access from internet)
– SQL Internal 10.0.1.15
3. Hyperv host containrs:
– Purely virtual servers on 4.4.4.x (these are the customers’ virtual machines whihch needs to be accessible from the outside using RDP etc)
So basically, what i was thinking to setup is that the customer virtual servers are added to the AD0X public, and all our internal servers are added to AD0X internal. However, the Web and the Api (and maybe others in the future) needs to have an open port 80 from the internet on a public ip, since the web contains our homepage etc, and the api should be accessible from the internet too.
How would we set this up using TMG? Or should we do a different setup alltogether?
Thank you.

However, I would like to filter specific URLs, but unless I’m mistaken with Forefront you only can set up a strategy within the framework of Forefront Microsoft startegy.

There are always dropped packets constantly. It does not mean anything is wrong.
The SYN error means exactly what it says. All connections begi with a SYN packet followed by an ACK packet being sent back the other way,…then the regular data portion of the session begins after that. The error is just saying something is trying to communicated with data (non-syn) packets without the connection first being established.
You have virus/spyware infected machines in those branches. Most of these types of infections cannot be totally removed with AV or Anti-spyware tools. They get embeded in the user’s profile,…so first do a cleanup with AV or ASpy tools,…then you have to backup the MyDocs, files on Desktop, Favorites, ect,…then delete the user profile,…create a clean one,…copy the saved files back into it. Repeat for every user that has a profile ont he machine.

I am ready to help but you need to help me explain your config. If the diagram shows in the url is same in office. Then you should do things a bit differently. What type of topology you are using in TMG? Eg, Edge, Back firewall, Single NIC etc. As you mentioned TMG as your default gateway. I reckon , you are using Edge Firewall.
Step1: Create Site to Site VPN using your Router/Cisco 877/Modem between Site HQ & remote site
Step2: Route IP 110.100.100.x to 100.100.100.x and vise-versa
Step3: Place TMG behind the Router in Site HQ
Step4: Configure Edge Firewall in TMG & Add both IPs in the internet network of TMG
Step5: Allow Policy for Routing, Ping, DNS, DHCP between both IP ranges in TMG
Step5: Allow Http & Https
You are good to go. If you have two sites and TMG configured single nIC as shown in your URL. This might not work properly. By default TMG block everything, you need to open ports one by one whatever your need is. Please let me how you going.

Raihan,
Thanks for this article, I have followed it step by step but still haven’t accomplished to get the tmg running.
I installed tmg 2010 on windows 2008 R2, I want all LAN traffic to go through this server to do some serious URL blocking, so I chose edge firewall to begin with, I don’t have AD, I’m not using domains, I currently have a 20pc LAN with a router for NAT. So in the server I have two NIC’s, 1st one configured as:
WAN connected directly to cable modem
public ip: 194.180.x.x/24
gw: 194.180.x.1
dns: 194.180.x.x
LAN connecteed to a switch where other computers will connect too
ip: 10.10.10.1
gw:
In the network and sharing center it says WAN NIC has internet access but LAN does not.
I have created firewall rules allowing internal to have http and https access, there’s not a bond between LAN 10.10.10.1 and WAN 190.184.x.x . What can I do.
thank you very much in advance.

Are you able to browse internet on TMG server? Your proxy server IP and port need to be configured on client’s IE. If you configure edge firewall than routing will be autmated by TMG. you need to create rules such as for http, https, ftp etc. In your situation default gateway of client would be your TMG’s internal nic.
You also need an authentication method for client such as Active Directory. Deliver proxy settings through GPO. setup connection verifier in TMG. than client will get internal once they log on using AD account.

Yes, I am able to browse internet on the TMG server. what gateway the internet network nic should have? itself? like this:

internal nic says it has internet access only if it is in same ip network as external. but the ideal should be external with a public address and internal with a private one.
is there a way to do it without AD authentication? I feel like by just creating the firewall rules allowing access from internal to internet and and routing and nating networks should be enough.
I would appreciate one final advise, thank you.

Hi great article. It was my guide when I set up my TMG server.
But I’m having troubles with it, can you give a little help :).
I’m trying to setup the following.
The TMG server has 4 networks. It will be my only router in my infrastructure,so it should be able to route between networks.
1 – ISP (public IP)
2 – DMZ (192.168.101.91/24)
3 – Internal Clients(192.168.1.1/24)
4 – Internal Servers (192.168.7.101/24)
During the initial configuration I had setup 3-leg topology and there I listed the first 3 network adapters with the idea to add the fourth later.
So I went to networks and added new Internal network Named Internal Server network and added IP range for my servers subnet.
The problem is that in my routing table keeps “auto adding” persistent route for server network:
192.168.7.0 255.255.255.255 192.168.7.101. And this is cousing my server network to not be able to be routed via TMG.
I looked everywhere even compare Client internal and server internal but I couldn’t find any difference but the route keeps adding itself.Tried to deleted it but without success. I couldn’t find some dependency which couse it to “auto add” itself…

Is it adding in TMG server or your separate server? TMG must not auto add persistant routing unless you specified separate routing rules in TMG. Please explaina bit

Dear Mr. Raihan Al-Beruni.
First of all, thank you for your Blog. As a newbie, I find it quite helpful.
Here is my question though. I have F TMG 2010 installed as an Edge Firewall, acting as Proxy Server which blocks the Internal Network’s HTTP and HTTPS except for a few chosen websites.
Now I am unable to send or receive e-mail (provided by a 3rd party ISP with Outgoing Server: smtp.dsl.telkomsa.net) via this new Proxy.
Please show me in the right direction.

Hello Hannes, Where is your mail server? is it in cloud or internal network? Is it Exchange?

Thanks for your help Raihan, please excuse my late reply.
Our e-mail is provided by an external company, with their own mail servers. We download e-mail via pop3, and send via SMTP. Now, I tried creating a policy/rule: Allow POP3 & SMTP from Internal to External Network for All Users. But still MS Outlook responds that it can’t find the server (pop3.telkomsa.net).
To be honest, I don’t have an idea about MS Exchange.
Although I would like my server to download all mail for all users, and then forward it to each user’s PC. I assume this is when Exchange comes in. But for now, if I can receive mail via my Proxy/MGT server, it’ll be Great!
Thnx again for your help.

Hello!
When a user sends a request from IE to Internet, TMG opens only part of the site. TMG authorizes the user as “DOMAIN \ username” and writes in the log “OK.” Another part of the site is blocked and TMG wrote in the log “Forefront TMG requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is denied” and writes the user name as Anonymous. When a user sends a request immediately from Mozilla, the site opens normally. Why?

If your blade server thats is ESX/Hyperv host connect direct to trunk port than you can configure port groups for all three vlans/subnets and add three nics for TMG server. thats easy as this. for hyperv you can configure vlan id for three subnets.

I’ve configured the domain for the internal network and the network adapter binding has the internal NIC at the very top so it resolves internally before it tries to go out.

Great guide, some really useful info in there. I’m currently in the process of setting up a new TMG server on our network and I have a question that I can’t seem to see the answer to. At the moment our LAN connects directly to a hardware firewall which in turn connects to a router for our ADSL connection. The TMG will sit between the firewall and the LAN so it will use two NICs, one internal and one external. The only thing I can’t see is how TMG knows that the external NIC is the one used to send traffic to that’s not local. I hope that makes sense and any clarification would be great.

For that reason. I am looking for a cheap and good solution as TMG but I don’t have clear what is the best fit network topology scenario. My network is 90% Microsoft and I have availability a physical server with minimum requirements and 1 license promo TMG standard.
What do you think about this?.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Raihan, It´s great blog. Congrats. I would like to know if you can help to me. Currenctly. We have OpenDNS for web filtering and I think that ISA Server or TMG could be a better solution for many reasons but I have a little confuse what is the best fit network model that we should be to implement. I have a Cisco Firewall to block and I think that one server with TMG for web filtering for user internal users. What is your best recommendation?.

I’ve configured TMG as an Edge Firewall and after configuring I’m unable to access Internet.
Following are the configurations I made:
Internal Network Adapter Settings:
IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway : None
DNS: 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1 is my Domain Controller where I’m also using DHCP.
External Network Adapter Settings:
IP: 192.168.0.101
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1

After installation, I added Allow Access rule in Firewal Policy to allow DNS from Internal to External but still I’m unable to access Internet.
Also I can’t ping to Router’s IP (192.168.0.1) from my Internal Network PC’s.

Hello Raihan
First of all, thanks for the excellent work you are doing. I am totally new to TMG & ISA and I am badly looking for some help. I hope you will be able to help me.
Scenario
We are using two CISCO Ironport as our enterprise firewalls.
Ironport1 IP is 10.230.60.1 (internal range)
Ironport2 IP is 10.230.60.2 (internal range)
And we use the following subnets for our LAN
10.230.60.0 /24 (for all servers); 10.230.61.0; 10.230.62.0; 10.230.63.0; until 10.230.69.0/24. Inter vlan routing is configured so communication between subnets are possible.
The ironpots are acting as our proxy as well. Some users use 10.230.60.1 as proxy while others use 10.230.60.2. Now we have reached a situation where we need to implement some type of network load balancing so that the requests will be equally distributed between the ironports. Also this will make the internet highly available.
So we decided to implement TMG2010. But as I said earlier, I have no clue how to configure TMG2010 for web access and NLB. Will you be able to help me with this please ? In this scenario do I need TMG with 2 NIC’s or single NIC will do? I dont need any DMZ.
Waiting to hear from you soon.
Thanks

Hi Riaz,
You need two TMG 2010 server each must have two NICs. As you dont need DMZ, you have to configure Edge Firewall on both of them. Install an EMS server to manage TMG server.

Hello Raihan, Thanks for the support and the quick reply. I shall try the steps in the link you provided. One small doubt.
When TMG2010 is to be configured as Edge Firewall then we need 2 NIC’s right. One for internal and one for external. We have a CISCO Ironport which is connected directly to the ISP link. It has an internal address which is in the range of say 10.232.60.1. So how should i configure TMG.
we are using 10.232.60.0/24 to 10.232.65.0/24. (there is inter vlan routing)
so which ip should i give to external (with the present setting it has to be in the range of 10.232.60.x and the internal i can give 10.232.61.1
will it work like this. and how to give the authentication in TMG. Ironport user AD accounts for authentication. pls advice

Hi Raihan, I want to keep ironport. It will be main firewall. The TMG will be mostly used for the purpose of load balancing. So the issue is now Ironport will be having 2 IP address. One public and one from the internal range. And the TMG also will require 2 IP. Thats where I get confused. How can i specify 2 IP ? Is it necessary that the interface named External of TMG should have an IP which is not included in the internal range. Will it be an issue if I give an IP on the external interface which can be reached from the internal interface (due to intervlan routing). sorry for troubling you and thanks a million for your efforts.

Odd question, probably:
1) have a two-stage H/A firewall composed of a pair of Juniper SRX and a pair of TMG2010 servers. The SRX are on the Internet side, the TMGs internal from them.
2) I need to route an internal server through the TMG array and have the internal ip address presented to the Junipers so that it can be used as input for a VPN rule. (Partner is requiring a Public address within the tunnel, not just on the outside, so I have to do the NAT at the Juniper side)
3) Distant end of the VPN is a Cisco ASA.
4) Created the tunnel and set up rules to nat traffic, but I ran into an issue when trying to route via the TMG array — the array insists on NAT’ing to its ‘external’ VIP vice passing the address on to the Juniper.
5) Attempted to get around this by sending to one member of the array and not the internal VIP, but I think this might be causing issues for the return traffic, which is sometimes being closed for non-receipt of a SYN/ACK (subsequent non-SYS packets from the client are then dropped for no existing connection)
Any ideas?
LikeLike
First you have to create back to back firewall between Juniper and TMG. Add internal IP address range into juniper internal IP address range. this ip range must be added into the rules of juniper.
Then same internal IP address range must be added into internal network of TMG. then publish the VPN connection within TMG and Juniper to Cisco ASA. then publish rule allowing ip range in ASA and Juniper. this is called two tier firewall. Its a great firewall from security point of view but sometimes difficult to maintain.

I’m stuck trying to replace my old (but working) ISA 2006 with TMG 2010. My conf.. is as follows:
I have a Back to Back configuration.
Back Firewall IP Ranges:
Internal – 10.10.1.0/24
Perimeter – 10.10.0.0/28
In the Perimeter network I have my web, ftp servers, etc and a router that links to some offices that are outside my location, and I provide web and mail services for them, this offices are in the network 10.10.6.0/23, so in the old ISA 2006 (Back Firewall/Proxy) there is a network created named DMZ with this range (10.10.6.1 to 10.10.7.254), and a network rule with a route relationship between the internal and the DMZ, and there is also a route in windows that sets the router (10.10.0.9) as the next hop for this address range. This works OK
So
I started configuring the new server with TMG2010. I created the route in windows and I was able to ping from the TMG server the PCs on the DMZ network (10.10.7.10 for example) and the Internal (10.10.1.18 My PC for example), but when I create a new network, with a network rule, has are created in the ISA2006, then I get “A packet was dropped because its destination IP address is unreachable” when I try to make a ping to the same PCs

I dont see your TMG server. So my guessing is:
You have export the config and import into TMG server. Before you do that make sure TCP/IP config of TMG server are correct. If you have any static route in ISA then apply same static route in TMG. simple is that. Route print is the command to see static route.
LikeLike
Static routes are the same in both servers, and working OK, as I said, before creating the network, just with the static routes everything works, the problem is after the creation of the network. As for the config import, that’s not exactly what I did, I made a clean install and config because there are a few things I want to change. So lets pretend that I don’t have a server working and it’s a completely new configuration. How can I reach a network segment that is accessible through the external interface, using ping? taking into account that the static route is done and working OK, the problem as I said, is when I create the new network in TMG with this address range, I stop reaching that network
