Part 8: Publish Application Specific Host Name using UAG 2010

Part 9: FF UAG 2010 Patching Order

Part 10: Publish Lync 2013 Using UAG 2010

Step1: Configure the SharePoint server

1. On the server running SharePoint Products and Technologies, open the SharePoint Central Administration tool.

2. In the SharePoint 2013 Central Administration tool or in the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration tool, under System Settings, click Configure alternate access mappings.

3. On the Alternate Access Mappings page, in the Alternate Access Mapping Collection list, click Change Alternate Access Mapping Collection, and then on the Select an Alternate Access Mapping Collection dialog box, select the application that you want to publish.

4. On the Alternate Access Mappings page, click Edit Public URLs.

5. On the Edit Public Zone URLs page, in a zone box that is not yet defined, such as the Internet zone, enter the URL of the same public host name that you entered in the Public host name box when you added the SharePoint web application to the Forefront UAG trunk (described in Configuring Forefront UAG settings). Make sure that the URL includes the protocol, according to the trunk type.

6. For example, if you are publishing an application via an HTTPS trunk that resides in the domain xman.com, and the application’s public host name that you entered in Forefront UAG is Portal, enter the following URL: https://Portal.xman.com.

7. When you have finished, click Save.

8. On the Alternate Access Mappings page, click Add Internal URLs, and then on the Add Internal URLs page, do the following:

9. In the URL protocol, host and port box, enter the URL that you assigned in the Farm host name box when you added the SharePoint web application to the Forefront UAG trunk (described in Configuring Forefront UAG settings). For example: http://PortalExternal.xman.com.

10. In the Zone list, click the same zone in which you defined the public host name (in step 5 of this procedure), and then click Save.

Step2: Create a New trunk

Right Click on HTTPS Application, Click New Trunk, Select Portal Trunk, Click Next

Type SharePoint 2010 on the Trunk Name, Type FQDN of SharePoint, Type IP address of external NIC, Click Next

On the Authentication Page, Click Add, Select DC, Click Next

Select SharePoint.xman.com.au certificate from drop down, Click Next. Don’t worry about certificate screen shot. this is a test environment.

Select Use Forefront UAG Access Policies, Click Next

Select Default and Click Next

Click Finish.

Step3: add SharePoint web applications to the trunk.

In the Forefront UAG Management console, click the trunk to which you want to add the application, and then in the Applications area, click Add.

In the Add Application Wizard, on the Select Application page, click Web, and then in the list, click Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2013, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

On the Select Endpoint Policies page, select the relevant SharePoint download and upload policies. These policies have been designed specifically for use with published SharePoint applications.

On the Web Servers page, do the following:

In the Addresses box, enter the internal host name of the server running SharePoint Products and Technologies. If your SharePoint server is load balanced, use the load-balanced URL instead of a server name. Make sure that you enter a fully qualified domain name.

In the Paths box, you can optionally define one or more paths on which the application resides, by double-clicking an empty line and entering a path. Note that the path must start with a slash.

In either the HTTP Port box or the HTTPS Port box, enter the port on which the SharePoint server is configured to listen.

In the Public host name box, enter a public host name of your choice for the SharePoint web application.

Select the Replace host header with the following check box, and in the Farm host name box, enter a URL of your choice that will be used to differentiate the internal host name of the application from its public host name. Make sure that the URL includes the domain in which the trunk resides (the domain of the trunk appears on the Web Servers tab, to the right of the Public host name box). For example, if the public host name of the application is HRPortal and the trunk resides in the domain xman.com, enter the following replacement host header: HRPortalExternal.xman.com.

On the Authentication page, do the following:

To allow rich client applications, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel, to authenticate directly to the SharePoint application without authenticating to the portal, select the Allow rich clients to bypass trunk authentication check box.

To use Office Forms Based Authentication (MSOFBA), select the Use Office Forms Based Authentication for Office client applications check box.

On the Portal Link page of the wizard, if required, configure the portal link for the application.

If you are publishing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, make sure that the Open in a new window check box is selected.

When you have completed the wizard, click Finish.

The Add Application Wizard closes, and the application that you defined appears in the Applications list.

On the toolbar of the Forefront UAG Management console, click the Activate configuration icon, and then on the Activate Configuration dialog box, click Activate.

After the configuration is activated, the message “Forefront UAG configuration activated successfully” appears.

Step4: Configure Mobile devices Access for SharePoint

When end users access a SharePoint 2010 site from a mobile device using the Office Mobile client, to allow the device to download documents from a SharePoint site, you must make the following URL set changes:

1. In the Forefront UAG Management console, open the Advanced Trunk Configuration dialog box, and click the URL Set tab.

2. In the URL list, scroll to InternalSite_Rule54, and in the Methods column, add the HEAD method.

3. In the URL list, scroll to SharePoint14AAM_Rule47, and in the Methods column, add the HEAD method.

4. On the Advanced Trunk Configuration dialog box, click OK, and then activate the configuration.

5. When end users open an Excel file on a SharePoint site from their mobile device, the file opens correctly. If they then go to a different SharePoint site, the first time they try to open an Excel file it may not open as expected; end users must click the file again to open it.

Forefront UAG Placement:

The Forefront UAG server is placed in a perimeter network, between a frontend firewall protecting the edge, and a backend firewall protecting the internal network.

There are advantages to place the Forefront UAG server between a frontend and backend firewall, as follows:

• Intranet content, such as servers published by Forefront UAG, can be isolated in the perimeter network and separated from corporate content intended for internal access only.
• Integrity of the content in the corporate network is retained.
• Securely publish backend applications and access infrastructure servers, such as authentication servers, as required.
• Hide corporate network infrastructure from perimeter and external threat.

Scenario#1

Perimeter Port Requirement:

To allow remote endpoints to access the published application behind a frontend cloud router, the following traffic must be allowed through the frontend firewall:

• HTTP traffic (port 80)
• HTTPS traffic (port 443)
• FTP Traffic (Port 21)
• RDP Traffic (Port 3389)

Backend Port Requirement

Since XMAN infrastructure servers are located in the internal network, the following ports are required by Forefront UAG for authentication and publishing purpose.

Infrastructure server	Protocol	Port	Direction
Domain controller	Microsoft-DS traffic	TCP 445 UDP 445	From UAG to DC
	Kerberos authentication	TCP 88 UDP 88	From UAG to DC
	LDAP	TCP 389 UDP 389	From UAG to DC
	LDAPS	TCP 636 UDP 636	From UAG to DC
	LDAP to GC	TCP 3268 UDP 3268	From UAG to DC
	LDAPS to GC	TCP 3269 UCP 3269	From UAG to DC
	DNS	TCP 53 UDP 53	From UAG to DC
Exchange, SharePoint, RDS	HTTPS	TCP 443	From external to internal server
FTP	FTP	TCP 21	From external to internal server

Scenario#2

In this scenario no NAT or internal firewall rules are needed but not a best practice and not a great firewall design.

UAG Network Configuration

The network adapter name used within the operating system should be changed to closely match the associated UAG network name. The following binding order will be maintained within Windows operating systems:

· First in Order- UAG internal adapter connected to the trusted network.

· Second in Order- UAG external adapter connected to the untrusted network.

The following are the network configuration for UAG server.

Option	IP Address	Subnet	Default Gateway	DNS
Internal Network	10.10.10.2	255.255.255.0	Not required	10.10.10.1
External Network	192.168.1.1	255.255.255.0	192.168.1.254	Not required

Important! External Network can be assigned public IP if UAG server isn’t placed behind frontend router/firewall. In an edge configuration UAG external network is configured with public IP and internal network is assigned an IP address of internal IP range.

Based upon Microsoft practices, the configuration shown below is a tried and tested approach that can be used as part of a Forefront UAG deployment. Extract from Recommended Network Adapter Configuration for Forefront UAG Servers

Configuration Step 1 – Rename Network Adapters:

Rename all network adapters to descriptive names that ideally match the connection type and UAG wizard/console names. For example:

• UAG adapter connected to the trusted network: Internal Network
• UAG adapter connected to the untrusted network: External Network

Configuration Step 2 – Configure Network Adapters:

The Internal Network adapter will normally be connected to your trusted environment. This could be your actual internal network (LAN) or could be a private DMZ (perimeter network) if using an intranet/back firewall.

Internal Network Adapter

• Default Gateway should not be defined
• DNS Servers should be defined
• Client for Microsoft Networks binding – Enabled
• File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks binding – Enabled
• Register this connection’s address in DNS – Enabled
• Enable LMHOSTS Lookup – Disabled
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP – Default

The External Network adapter will normally be connected to your untrusted environment. This could be your actual Internet connection if using an edge deployment, or could be a public DMZ (perimeter network) if using an existing edge/front firewall.

External Network Adapter

• Default Gateway should be defined
• DNS Servers should not be defined
• Client for Microsoft Networks binding – Disabled
• File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks binding – Disabled
• Register this connection’s address in DNS – Disabled
• Enable LMHOSTS Lookup – Disabled
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP – Disabled

Please Note: The ‘File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks’ binding on the TMG internal adapter is left at the default settings of Enabled on the TMG Internal Network adapter. This allows for the use of the Internal Network adapter for intra-array services when using a Forefront UAG array.

Configuration Step 3 – Amend Bind Order:

Edit the network adapter bind order to place the Internal Network adapter at the top (highest) position and the External Network at the bottom (lowest) position. For example:

Internal Network (Highest)
External Network (Lowest)

To amend network binding follow the steps below:

1. Click Start, click Network, click Network and Sharing Center, and then click Change Adapter Settings.

2. Press the ALT key, click Advanced, and then click Advanced Settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. Click the Adapters and Bindings tab, and then, under Connections, click the connection you want to modify.

4. Under Bindings for <connection name>, select the protocol that you want to move up or down in the list, click the up or down arrow button, and then click OK.

Configuration Step 4 – Run the UAG Network Interfaces Wizard:

You should now run the UAG Network Interfaces wizard, and assign the network adapters to their respective Internal and External connection types/roles.

Important! As you have configured the default gateway on the External Network adapter, it is necessary to add static routes to define internal network subnets that are reached via the Internal Network adapter but located behind routers (including VLANs on layer 3 switches) on the internal network. The use of multiple default gateways is not supported and static routes are the recommended solution. Once you have defined the appropriate static routes, you will then need to run the UAG Network Interfaces wizard to add the new subnets (called address ranges) to the internal network definition; these will consequently be inherited by TMG and allow correct traffic flow.

DNS Forwarding:

The following Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) will be forwarded from ISP to your router:

Purpose	Public Host Name	Public IP Address
Exchange	webmail.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x
SharePoint	sharepoint.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x
RDS	remote.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x
FTP	ftp.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x

Scenario#1 Firewall Rules consideration

External NAT Rules

The following NAT rules will be added into perimeter network to publish application and services through Forefront UAG.

Rule(s)	Description	Source IP	Public IP Address (Destination IP Address)	Port	NAT Destination	Status
1	Exchange	Any	203.17.x.x	443	10.10.10.2	Forward
2	SharePoint	Any	203.17.x.x	443	10.10.10.2	Forward
4	RDS	Any	203.17.x.x	443	10.10.10.2	Forward
5	FTP	Any	203.17.x.x	21	10.10.10.2	Forward

Internal Firewall Rules

The following firewall rules will be added into internal network firewall to allow communication from UAG server to application servers and domain controller:

Rules	Description	Source IP	Port TCP & UDP	NAT Destination	Destination	Status
1	Exchange	10.10.10.2	TCP 443	Not Required	10.10.10.3	Forward
2	SharePoint	10.10.10.2	TCP 443	Not Required	10.10.10.4	Forward
4	RDS	10.10.10.2	TCP 443	Not Required	10.10.10.5	Forward
5	FTP	10.10.10.2	TCP 21	Not Required	10.10.10.6	Forward
6	Client	10.10.12.0/24 10.10.13.0/24	TCP 443 TCP 21	Not Required	10.10.10.2	Forward
7	Domain Controller	10.10.10.2	445, 88, 53 389, 636 3268, 3296	Not Required	10.10.10.1	Forward

Understanding Certificates requirements:

Forefront UAG supports wildcard certificates at the domain level and sub-domain level. Wildcard certificates in the form *.xman.com.au are supported. In addition the SAN certificate can specify the required host names.

Launch Certificate Manager

1. Click to open the Certificate Manager Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Using Certificate Manager, you can import a certificate into the IIS Certificate store, as follows:

2. On the Action menu of Certificate Manager, click All Tasks, and then click Import.

3. Follow the instructions in the Certificate Import Wizard.

Common Name	Subject Alternative Name	Certificate Issuer
RDS.xman.com.au	–	Verisign/Digicert
webmail.xman.com.au	autodiscover.xman.com.au	Verisign/Digicert
ftp.xman.com.au	–	Verisign/Digicert
sharepoint.xman.com.au	–	Verisign/Digicert

Understanding Properties of Trunk

• Trunk name: Specify the name of the trunk. This name is assigned to the Web site that is created in IIS running on the Forefront UAG server. Within the set of HTTP connections and HTTPS connections, each trunk name must be unique. The trunk name cannot contain the public host name.
• Public host name: Specify the host name used by client endpoints to reach the Web site. The host name must contain at least two periods.
• IP address: Specify the external IP address used to reach the published Web application or portal.
• Array Member: If the Forefront UAG server is part of an array, click the server entry in the IP address column, and select the external IP address of this array member.
• HTTP/HTTPS port: Specify the port for the external Web site.

UAG trunks will be configured within Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) to publish applications and services. The following topics describe a list of trunks and its advanced configuration.

Advanced Trunk Configuration for SharePoint: The following changes should be made in advanced trunk configuration to allow mobile devices to communicate with UAG server for rich application:

URL List	Methods	Allow Rich Content
InternalSite_Rule54	HEAD	Checked

Part 3: Publish Exchange Server 2010 Using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

Part 4: Redirect Web Application from HTTP to HTTPS using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

Part 5: Publish SharePoint Server 2010 Using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

Part 6: Forefront UAG Patching Order

Step1: Configure the SharePoint server

1. On the server running SharePoint Products and Technologies, open the SharePoint Central Administration tool.

2. In the SharePoint 2013 Central Administration tool or in the SharePoint 2010 Central Administration tool, under System Settings, click Configure alternate access mappings.

3. On the Alternate Access Mappings page, in the Alternate Access Mapping Collection list, click Change Alternate Access Mapping Collection, and then on the Select an Alternate Access Mapping Collection dialog box, select the application that you want to publish.

4. On the Alternate Access Mappings page, click Edit Public URLs.

5. On the Edit Public Zone URLs page, in a zone box that is not yet defined, such as the Internet zone, enter the URL of the same public host name that you entered in the Public host name box when you added the SharePoint web application to the Forefront UAG trunk (described in Configuring Forefront UAG settings). Make sure that the URL includes the protocol, according to the trunk type.

6. For example, if you are publishing an application via an HTTPS trunk that resides in the domain xman.com, and the application’s public host name that you entered in Forefront UAG is Portal, enter the following URL: https://Portal.xman.com.

7. When you have finished, click Save.

8. On the Alternate Access Mappings page, click Add Internal URLs, and then on the Add Internal URLs page, do the following:

9. In the URL protocol, host and port box, enter the URL that you assigned in the Farm host name box when you added the SharePoint web application to the Forefront UAG trunk (described in Configuring Forefront UAG settings). For example: http://PortalExternal.xman.com.

10. In the Zone list, click the same zone in which you defined the public host name (in step 5 of this procedure), and then click Save.

Step2: Create a New trunk

Right Click on HTTPS Application, Click New Trunk, Select Portal Trunk, Click Next

Type SharePoint 2010 on the Trunk Name, Type FQDN of SharePoint, Type IP address of external NIC, Click Next

On the Authentication Page, Click Add, Select DC, Click Next

Select SharePoint.xman.com.au certificate from drop down, Click Next. Don’t worry about certificate screen shot. this is a test environment.

Select Use Forefront UAG Access Policies, Click Next

Select Default and Click Next

Click Finish.

Step3: add SharePoint web applications to the trunk.

In the Forefront UAG Management console, click the trunk to which you want to add the application, and then in the Applications area, click Add.

In the Add Application Wizard, on the Select Application page, click Web, and then in the list, click Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2013, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

On the Select Endpoint Policies page, select the relevant SharePoint download and upload policies. These policies have been designed specifically for use with published SharePoint applications.

On the Web Servers page, do the following:

In the Addresses box, enter the internal host name of the server running SharePoint Products and Technologies. If your SharePoint server is load balanced, use the load-balanced URL instead of a server name. Make sure that you enter a fully qualified domain name.

In the Paths box, you can optionally define one or more paths on which the application resides, by double-clicking an empty line and entering a path. Note that the path must start with a slash.

In either the HTTP Port box or the HTTPS Port box, enter the port on which the SharePoint server is configured to listen.

In the Public host name box, enter a public host name of your choice for the SharePoint web application.

Select the Replace host header with the following check box, and in the Farm host name box, enter a URL of your choice that will be used to differentiate the internal host name of the application from its public host name. Make sure that the URL includes the domain in which the trunk resides (the domain of the trunk appears on the Web Servers tab, to the right of the Public host name box). For example, if the public host name of the application is HRPortal and the trunk resides in the domain xman.com, enter the following replacement host header: HRPortalExternal.xman.com.

On the Authentication page, do the following:

To allow rich client applications, such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel, to authenticate directly to the SharePoint application without authenticating to the portal, select the Allow rich clients to bypass trunk authentication check box.

To use Office Forms Based Authentication (MSOFBA), select the Use Office Forms Based Authentication for Office client applications check box.

On the Portal Link page of the wizard, if required, configure the portal link for the application.

If you are publishing Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, make sure that the Open in a new window check box is selected.

When you have completed the wizard, click Finish.

The Add Application Wizard closes, and the application that you defined appears in the Applications list.

On the toolbar of the Forefront UAG Management console, click the Activate configuration icon, and then on the Activate Configuration dialog box, click Activate.

After the configuration is activated, the message “Forefront UAG configuration activated successfully” appears.

Step4: Configure Mobile devices Access for SharePoint

When end users access a SharePoint 2010 site from a mobile device using the Office Mobile client, to allow the device to download documents from a SharePoint site, you must make the following URL set changes:

1. In the Forefront UAG Management console, open the Advanced Trunk Configuration dialog box, and click the URL Set tab.

2. In the URL list, scroll to InternalSite_Rule54, and in the Methods column, add the HEAD method.

3. In the URL list, scroll to SharePoint14AAM_Rule47, and in the Methods column, add the HEAD method.

4. On the Advanced Trunk Configuration dialog box, click OK, and then activate the configuration.

5. When end users open an Excel file on a SharePoint site from their mobile device, the file opens correctly. If they then go to a different SharePoint site, the first time they try to open an Excel file it may not open as expected; end users must click the file again to open it.

Redirect Web Application from HTTP to HTTPS using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

Part 1: Install and Configure Forefront UAG Step by Step

Part 2: Publish RDS using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

Part 3: Publish Exchange Server 2010 Using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

Part 4: Redirect Web Application from HTTP to HTTPS using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

Part 5: Publish SharePoint Server 2010 Using Forefront UAG 2010 Step by Step

When you create a Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) HTTPS portal trunk, only HTTPS requests that arrive at the Forefront UAG are handled by the trunk. This topic describes how to create a redirect trunk to automatically redirect HTTP requests made by remote endpoints to the HTTPS trunk.

Web Sites	Inbound Requested Port	Request Redirected To
RDS.xman.com.au	80	443
ftp.xman.com.au	80	443
webmail.xman.com.au	80	443
sharepoint.xman.com.au	80	443

Step1: Before you create a redirect trunk, note the following:

1. Make sure that you have already created the HTTPS trunk to which you want to redirect HTTP requests.

2. Make sure you define all the parameters of the HTTPS Connections trunk before you create the redirect trunk, including the definitions you make in the Forefront UAG Management console after completing the New Trunk Wizard.

If at a later stage, you change the IP address or port number of the HTTPS Connections trunk, do one of the following:

1. Update the IP address or port number manually in the relevant redirect trunk.

2. Delete the existing redirect trunk and create a new one.

3. Redirect trunks are not monitored by the Forefront UAG Web Monitor.

4. Sessions in redirect trunks are not calculated in the session count of Forefront UAG. When an HTTP session is redirected to HTTPS via a redirect trunk, it is only counted as one HTTPS session.

Step2: create a redirect trunk

1. In the Forefront UAG Management console, in the left navigation tree, right-click HTTP Connections, and then select New Trunk.

2. In the Create Trunk Wizard, select HTTP to HTTPS redirection, and then click Next.

3. All HTTPS trunks for which no redirect trunk exists are listed.

4. Select the HTTPS trunk to which you want to redirect HTTP requests, and then click Finish.

5. A new trunk with the same name as the HTTPS trunk you selected is created in the left navigation tree.

6. HTTP requests that arrive at the external Web site that is defined for this trunk are redirected to the HTTPS trunk you selected in the wizard.

Forefront UAG Placement:

The Forefront UAG server is placed in a perimeter network, between a frontend firewall protecting the edge, and a backend firewall protecting the internal network.

There are advantages to place the Forefront UAG server between a frontend and backend firewall, as follows:

• Intranet content, such as servers published by Forefront UAG, can be isolated in the perimeter network and separated from corporate content intended for internal access only.
• Integrity of the content in the corporate network is retained.
• Securely publish backend applications and access infrastructure servers, such as authentication servers, as required.
• Hide corporate network infrastructure from perimeter and external threat.

Scenario#1

Perimeter Port Requirement:

To allow remote endpoints to access the published application behind a frontend cloud router, the following traffic must be allowed through the frontend firewall:

• HTTP traffic (port 80)
• HTTPS traffic (port 443)
• FTP Traffic (Port 21)
• RDP Traffic (Port 3389)

Backend Port Requirement

Since XMAN infrastructure servers are located in the internal network, the following ports are required by Forefront UAG for authentication and publishing purpose.

Infrastructure server	Protocol	Port	Direction
Domain controller	Microsoft-DS traffic	TCP 445UDP 445	From UAG to DC
	Kerberos authentication	TCP 88UDP 88	From UAG to DC
	LDAP	TCP 389UDP 389	From UAG to DC
	LDAPS	TCP 636UDP 636	From UAG to DC
	LDAP to GC	TCP 3268UDP 3268	From UAG to DC
	LDAPS to GC	TCP 3269UCP 3269	From UAG to DC
	DNS	TCP 53UDP 53	From UAG to DC
Exchange, SharePoint, RDS	HTTPS	TCP 443	From external to internal server
FTP	FTP	TCP 21	From external to internal server

Scenario#2

In this scenario no NAT or internal firewall rules are needed but not a best practice and not a great firewall design.

UAG Network Configuration

The network adapter name used within the operating system should be changed to closely match the associated UAG network name. The following binding order will be maintained within Windows operating systems:

· First in Order- UAG internal adapter connected to the trusted network.

· Second in Order- UAG external adapter connected to the untrusted network.

The following are the network configuration for UAG server.

Option	IP Address	Subnet	Default Gateway	DNS
Internal Network	10.10.10.2	255.255.255.0	Not required	10.10.10.1
External Network	192.168.1.1192.168.1.2192.168.1.3 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.5	255.255.255.0	192.168.1.254	Not required

Important! External Network can be assigned public IP if UAG server isn’t placed behind frontend router/firewall. In an edge configuration UAG external network is configured with public IP and internal network is assigned an IP address of internal IP range.

Based upon Microsoft practices, the configuration shown below is a tried and tested approach that can be used as part of a Forefront UAG deployment. Extract from Recommended Network Adapter Configuration for Forefront UAG Servers

Configuration Step 1 – Rename Network Adapters:

Rename all network adapters to descriptive names that ideally match the connection type and UAG wizard/console names. For example:

• UAG adapter connected to the trusted network: Internal Network
• UAG adapter connected to the untrusted network: External Network

Configuration Step 2 – Configure Network Adapters:

The Internal Network adapter will normally be connected to your trusted environment. This could be your actual internal network (LAN) or could be a private DMZ (perimeter network) if using an intranet/back firewall.

Internal Network Adapter

• Default Gateway should not be defined
• DNS Servers should be defined
• Client for Microsoft Networks binding – Enabled
• File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks binding – Enabled
• Register this connection’s address in DNS – Enabled
• Enable LMHOSTS Lookup – Disabled
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP – Default

The External Network adapter will normally be connected to your untrusted environment. This could be your actual Internet connection if using an edge deployment, or could be a public DMZ (perimeter network) if using an existing edge/front firewall.

External Network Adapter

• Default Gateway should be defined
• DNS Servers should not be defined
• Client for Microsoft Networks binding – Disabled
• File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks binding – Disabled
• Register this connection’s address in DNS – Disabled
• Enable LMHOSTS Lookup – Disabled
• NetBIOS over TCP/IP – Disabled

Please Note: The ‘File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks’ binding on the TMG internal adapter is left at the default settings of Enabled on the TMG Internal Network adapter. This allows for the use of the Internal Network adapter for intra-array services when using a Forefront UAG array.

Configuration Step 3 – Amend Bind Order:

Edit the network adapter bind order to place the Internal Network adapter at the top (highest) position and the External Network at the bottom (lowest) position. For example:

Internal Network (Highest)
External Network (Lowest)

To amend network binding follow the steps below:

1. Click Start, click Network, click Network and Sharing Center, and then click Change Adapter Settings.

2. Press the ALT key, click Advanced, and then click Advanced Settings. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

3. Click the Adapters and Bindings tab, and then, under Connections, click the connection you want to modify.

4. Under Bindings for <connection name>, select the protocol that you want to move up or down in the list, click the up or down arrow button, and then click OK.

Configuration Step 4 – Run the UAG Network Interfaces Wizard:

You should now run the UAG Network Interfaces wizard, and assign the network adapters to their respective Internal and External connection types/roles.

Important! As you have configured the default gateway on the External Network adapter, it is necessary to add static routes to define internal network subnets that are reached via the Internal Network adapter but located behind routers (including VLANs on layer 3 switches) on the internal network. The use of multiple default gateways is not supported and static routes are the recommended solution. Once you have defined the appropriate static routes, you will then need to run the UAG Network Interfaces wizard to add the new subnets (called address ranges) to the internal network definition; these will consequently be inherited by TMG and allow correct traffic flow.

DNS Forwarding:

The following Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) will be forwarded from ISP to your router:

Purpose	Public Host Name	Public IP Address
Exchange	webmail.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x
SharePoint	sharepoint.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x
RDS	remote.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x
FTP	ftp.xman.com.au	203.17.x.x

Scenario#1 Firewall Rules consideration

External NAT Rules

The following NAT rules will be added into perimeter network to publish application and services through Forefront UAG.

Rule(s)	Description	Source IP	Public IP Address (Destination IP Address)	Port	NAT Destination
1	Exchange	Any	203.17.x.x	443	192.168.1.2
2	SharePoint	Any	203.17.x.x	443	192.168.1.3
4	RDS	Any	203.17.x.x	443	192.168.1.4
5	FTP	Any	203.17.x.x	21	192.168.1.5

Internal Firewall Rules

The following firewall rules will be added into internal network firewall to allow communication from UAG server to application servers and domain controller:

Rule(s)	Description	Source IP	Port TCP & UDP	Destination
1	Exchange	10.10.10.2	TCP   443	10.10.10.3
2	SharePoint	10.10.10.2	TCP   443	10.10.10.4
4	RDS	10.10.10.2	TCP   443	10.10.10.5
5	FTP	10.10.10.2	TCP   21	10.10.10.6
6	Client	10.10.12.0/24	TCP   443 TCP   21	10.10.10.2
7	Domain   Controller	10.10.10.2	445,   88, 53 389,   636 3268,   3296	10.10.10.1

Understanding Certificates requirements:

Forefront UAG supports wildcard certificates at the domain level and sub-domain level. Wildcard certificates in the form *.xman.com.au are supported. In addition the SAN certificate can specify the required host names. Certificates must be in .pfx format with private key within the certificate.

Launch Certificate Manager

1. Click to open the Certificate Manager Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Using Certificate Manager, you can import a certificate into the IIS Certificate store, as follows:

2. On the Action menu of Certificate Manager, click All Tasks, and then click Import.

3. Follow the instructions in the Certificate Import Wizard.

 

Common Name	Subject Alternative Name	Certificate Issuer
RDS.xman.com.au	–	Verisign/Digicert
webmail.xman.com.au	autodiscover.xman.com.au	Verisign/Digicert
ftp.xman.com.au	–	Verisign/Digicert
sharepoint.xman.com.au	–	Verisign/Digicert

Understanding Properties of Trunk

• Trunk name: Specify the name of the trunk. This name is assigned to the Web site that is created in IIS running on the Forefront UAG server. Within the set of HTTP connections and HTTPS connections, each trunk name must be unique. The trunk name cannot contain the public host name.

How to configure Exchange 2010 Unified Messaging Server –step by step

An UM infrastructure is an integration of Microsoft Exchange Server, IP Gateway Conventional PBX and IP-PBX to deliver voicemail, greetings and customer messages to a single outlook client.  Microsoft Exchange Server Unified Messaging (UM) combines voice messaging and e-mail messaging into a single messaging infrastructure. Unified Messaging puts all e-mail and voice messages into one Exchange 2010 mailbox that can be accessed from many different devices. After Unified Messaging servers have been deployed on a network, users can access their messages using Outlook Voice Access, from any telephone, from a mobile phone, or from the computer.

Systems Requirements

Microsoft Certified PBX and IP Gateway

Microsoft Telephony Advisor for Exchange Server

Exchange 2010 pre-requisites

Unified Communication Architecture

To install Unified Messaging Server Role on Exchange 2010

Once UM server configured. You must configure other UM devices such AudioCodecs IP Gateway, Siemens, Cisco or your preferred PBX, IP-PBX devices to work with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 UM. Microsoft supported configuration “how to” guides are at the end this articles in PDF format.

How UM use Active Directory and HT server to Transmit Email

The Unified Messaging server role uses Active Directory site membership information to determine which Hub Transport servers are located in the same Active Directory site as the Unified Messaging server. The Unified Messaging server submits messages for routing to a Hub Transport server within the same Active Directory site. The Hub Transport server performs recipient resolution and queries Active Directory to match a telephone number, or another Unified Messaging property, to a recipient account. After the recipient resolution completes, the Hub transport server will deliver the message to the target mailbox in the same way as a regular e-mail message.

If your management decide to have new user account@newdomain, email addresses@newdomain and websites with new domain name. Now you will not have a choice but  find out a solution regardless of who says what. In this article (Ref: Plan A), I will investigate and share with you what happen if you rename domain on a test environment similar to my organisation i.e. Microsoft Active Directory 2008 and Exchange 2007/2010. Those who are in my situation, I will explain (Ref: Plan B) how I can accomplish same objectives with alternative deployment that means without messing around AD domain and Exchange 2007/2010.  I know plan A is going to fail but worthwhile to produce documents to management and go for plan B. So that business runs smoothly. when time perfect and fund is available then rebuild Microsoft messaging systems for entire organization.

Do NOT perform these steps in a production environment. Domain rename is NOT supported when Exchange 2007/2010 installed in a member server.

Rename Domain on a Testbed

Objectives:

• Rename Domain
• Migrate IIS to new domain
• Fix GPO and Exchange (only applicable for Exchange 2003)

Assumptions:

Steps involve:

• Set up your control station for the domain rename operation.
• Freeze the Forest Configuration
• Back up all the domain controllers in your forest.
• Generate the current forest description.
• Specify the new forest description.
• Generate domain rename instructions
• Push domain rename instructions to all domain controllers, and verify DNS readiness.
• Verify the readiness of the domain controllers.
• Execute the domain rename instructions
• Update the Exchange configuration, and restart the Exchange servers (Only applicable for Exchange 2003 SP1)
• Unfreeze the forest configuration
• Re-establish external trusts
• Fix Group Policy objects (GPOs) and links.

Precaution: Use the following link for Active Directory Backup and Restore in Windows Server 2008  or keep your resume handy

To verify the forest functionality to Windows Server 2008

1. Open Active Directory Domains and Trusts.
2. In the scope pane, right-click Active Directory Domains and Trusts and then click Raise Forest Functional Level.
3. In the Select an available forest functional level box, click Windows Server 2008, and then click Raise.
4. Click OK to raise the forest functionality, and then click OK again.

To analyze and prepare DNS zones for domain rename

1. Compile a list of DNS zones that need to be created.
2. Use the DNS MMC snap-in to create the required DNS zones compiled in step 1.
3. Configure DNS zones according to “Add a forward lookup zone” in Windows Server 2008.
4. Configure dynamic DNS update according to “Allow dynamic updates” in Windows Server 2008.

To generate the current forest description file

In windows server 2008, rendom and GPFix utility are available in %Windir%system32 folder. If you change your directory into c:Windowssystem32 and run rendom /list then domainlist.xml will be placed in same directory.

1. On the control station, open a command prompt and change to the X:DomainRename directory.
2. At the command prompt, type rendom /list the following command and press ENTER:
3. Save a copy of the current forest description file (domainlist.xml) generated in step 2 as domainlist-save.xml for future reference by using the following copy command: copy domainlist.xml domainlist-save.xml

To edit the domainlist.xml file

1. Using a simple text editor such as Notepad.exe, open the current forest description file domainlist.xml generated in “STEP 3: Generate the Current Forest Description” earlier in this document.
2. Edit the forest description file, replacing the current DNS and/or NetBIOS names of the domains and application directory partitions to be renamed with the planned new DNS and/or NetBIOS names.

To review the new forest description in domainlist.xml

At the command prompt, type the following and then press ENTER: rendom /showforest

To generate the domain rename instructions and upload them to the domain naming master

1. On the control station, open a command prompt.
2. From within the X:DomainRename directory, execute the following command: rendom /upload
3. Verify that the domain rename tool created the state file dclist.xml in the directory X:DomainRename and that the state file contains an entry for every domain controller in your forest

To discover the DNS host name of the domain naming master

1. On the control station, open a command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type the following and then press ENTER: Dsquery server –hasfsmo name

To force synchronization of changes made to the domain naming master

The following procedure forces the Active Directory changes initiated at the Domain Naming master DC in STEP 4 to replicate to all DCs in the forest.

1. On the control station, open a command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type the following and then press ENTER: repadmin /syncall /d /e /P /q DomainNamingMaster

where DomainNamingMaster is the DNS host name of the domain controller that is the current domain naming master for the forest.

To verify the readiness of domain controllers in the forest

1. On the control station, open a command prompt and change to the X:DomainRename directory

2. At the command prompt, type the following command and then press ENTER: rendom /prepare

3. Once the command has finished execution, examine the state file domainlist.xml to determine whether all domain controllers have achieved the

To execute the domain rename instructions on all domain controllers

1. On the control station, open a command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type the following and then press ENTER: rendom /execute
3. When the command has finished execution, examine the state file domainlist.xml to determine whether all domain controllers have reached either the Done state or the Error state.
4. If the domainlist.xml file shows any DCs as remaining in the Prepared state, repeat step 2 in this procedure as many times as needed until the stopping criterion is met.

To force Rendom /execute to re-issue the RPC to a DC in the Error state

1. In the domainlist.xml file, locate the <Retry></Retry> field in the domain controller entry for the DC that you believe should be retried.
2. Edit the domainlist.xml file such that the field reads <Retry>yes</Retry> for that entry.
3. The next execution of the rendom /execute command will re-issue the execute-specific RPC to that DC.

To fix up DFS topology in every renamed domain

On the control station, open a command prompt. For each Dfs root, if any of the topology components as described above needs to be fixed, type the following command (the entire command must be typed on a single line, although it is shown on multiple lines for clarity) and press ENTER:

dfsutil /RenameFtRoot /Root:DfsRootPath /OldDomain:OldName /NewDomain:NewName /Verbose

-Where-

DfsRootPath is the DFS root to operate on, e.g., \microsoftguru.com.aupublic.

OldName is the exact old name to be replaced in the topology for the Dfs root.

NewName is the exact new name to replace the old name in the topology.

To fix up Group Policy in every renamed domain

1. On the control station, open a command prompt and change to the X:DomainRename directory.
2. At the command prompt, type the following command (the entire command must be typed on a single line, although it is shown on multiple lines for clarity) and press ENTER:

gpfixup /olddns:OldDomainDnsName /newdns:NewDomainDNSName /oldnb:OldDomainNetBIOSName

/newnb:NewDomainNetBIOSName /dc:DcDnsName 2>&1 >gpfixup.log

-Where-

OldDomainDnsName is the old DNS name of the renamed domain.

NewDomainDnsName is the new DNS name of the renamed domain.

OldDomainNetBIOSName is the old NetBIOS name of the renamed domain.

NewDomainNetBIOSName is the new NetBIOS name of the renamed domain.

DcDnsName is the DNS host name of a domain controller in the renamed domain, preferably the PDC emulator, that successfully completed the rename operation with a final Done state in the dclist.xml state file in “STEP 8: Execute Domain Rename Instructions” earlier in this document.

For example,

gpfixup /olddns:wolverine.com.au /newdns:microsoftguru.com.au /oldnb:wolverine /newnb:microsoftguru /dc:dc.wolverine.com.au 2>&1 >gpfixup1.log

To force replication of the Group Policy fix-up changes made at the DC named in DcDNSName in above step of this procedure to the rest of the DCs in the renamed domain, type the following and then press ENTER: repadmin /syncall /d /e /P /q DcDnsName NewDomainDN

-Where-

DcDnsName is the DNS host name of the DC that was targeted by the gpfixup command.

NewDomainDN is the distinguished name (DN) corresponding to the new DNS name of the renamed domain.

Repeat steps  in this procedure for every renamed domain. You can enter the commands in sequence for each renamed domain.

For Example, repadmin /syncall /d /e /P /q dc.microsoftguru.com.au dc=microsoftguru,dc=com, dc=au 

To update the DNS name of the CA machine

1. On the CA machine, open registry editor and locate the entry CAServerName under HKLMSystemCurrentControlSetCertSvcConfigurationYourCAName.
2. Change the value in CAServerName to correspond to the new DNS host name.

To update the Web enrolment file

To enable proper Web enrollment for the user, you must also update the file that is used by the ASP pages used for Web enrollment. The following change must be made on all CA machines in your domain.

1. On the CA machine, search for the certdat.inc file (if you have used default installation settings, it should be located in the %windir%system32certsrv directory).

2. Open the file, which appears as follows:

<%’ CODEPAGE=65001 ‘UTF-8%>

<%’ certdat.inc – (CERT)srv web – global (DAT)a

‘ Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation, 1998 – 1999 %>

<% ‘ default values for the certificate request

sDefaultCompany=””

sDefaultOrgUnit=””

sDefaultLocality=””

sDefaultState=””

sDefaultCountry=””

‘ global state

sServerType=”Enterprise” ‘vs StandAlone

sServerConfig=”OLDDNSNAMEYourCAName”

sServerDisplayName=”YourCAName”

nPendingTimeoutDays=10

‘ control versions

sXEnrollVersion=”5,131,2510,0″

sScrdEnrlVersion=”5,131,2474,0″

%>

3. Change the SServerConfig entry to have the NewDNSName of the CA machine.

To perform attribute clean up after domain rename

1. On the control station, open a command prompt.
2. At the command prompt, from within the X:DomainRename directory, execute the following command: rendom /clean

Command-line usage to run XDR-fixup.exe

XDR-fixup.exe /s:start_domainlist.xml /e:end_domainlist.xml [/user:username /pwd:password | *] [/trace:tracefile] /changes:changescript.ldf /restore:restorescript.ldf [/?]

Note This command is one line. It has been wrapped for readability.

Command-line usage to verify XDR-fixup.exe

Use the following command line to verify the changes that are made by XDR-fixup.exe:

XDR-fixup /verify:restorescript.ldf /changes:verifycorrections.ldf

To unfreeze the forest configuration

From within the X:DomainRename directory, execute the following command: rendom /end

To force remove domain member if fails to join new domain using following command. Then re-join domain manually.

netdom remove <machine-name> /Domain:<old-domain> /Force”

To use Control Panel to check for primary DNS suffix update configuration for a computer

The following procedures explain two ways to view the setting for a member computer that determines whether the primary DNS suffix changes when the name of the membership domain changes.

1. On a member computer, in Control Panel, double-click System.

2. Click the Computer Name tab and then click Change.

3. Click More and then verify whether Change primary domain suffix when domain membership changes is selected.

4. Click OK until all dialog boxes are closed.

To use the registry to check for primary DNS suffix update configuration for a computer

1. On the Start menu, click Run.

2. In the Open box, type regedit and then click OK.

3. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters.

4. Verify whether the value of REG_RWORD SyncDomainWithMembership is 0x1. This value indicates that the primary DNS suffix changes when the domain membership changes.

To determine whether Group Policy specifies the primary DNS suffix for a computer

1. On a member computer, perform one of the following steps:
2. At a command prompt, type gpresult. In the output, under Applied Group Policy objects, check to see whether Primary DNS Suffix is listed.

Open the Resultant Set of Policy Wizard, as follows:

In Active Directory Users and Computers, right-click the computer object, click All Tasks, and then click Resultant Set of Policy (Logging).

Open a command prompt and then type: ipconfig /all

Check the Primary DNS Suffix in the output. If it does not match the primary DNS suffix that is specified in the System Control Panel for the computer (see “To use Control Panel to check for primary DNS suffix update configuration for a computer” earlier in this document), then the Primary DNS Suffix Group Policy is applied.

u In the registry, check for the presence of the entry Primary DNS Suffix under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftSystemDNSclient. If a value is present, then the Primary DNS Suffix Group Policy is applied to the computer.

To install Support Tools

1. On the Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, or Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition operating system CD, double-click the Support folder.

2. In the Support folder, double-click the Tool folder and then run suptools.msi.

To use ADSI Edit to add DNS suffixes to msDS‑AllowedDNSSuffixes

The attribute msDS‑AllowedDNSSuffixes is an attribute of the domain object. Therefore, you must set DNS suffixes for each domain whose name is going to change.

1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, Windows Server 2003 Support Tools, Tools, and then click ADSI Edit.

2. Double-click the domain directory partition for the domain you want to modify.

3. Right-click the domain container object, and then click Properties.

4. On the Attribute Editor tab, in the Attributes box, double-click the attribute msDS‑AllowedDNSSuffixes.

5. In the Multi-valued String Editor dialog box, in the Value to add box, type a DNS suffix and then click Add.

6. When you have added all the DNS suffixes for the domain, click OK.

7. Click OK to closed the Properties dialog box for that domain.

8. In the scope pane, right-click ADSI Edit and click Connect to.

9. Under Computer, click Select or type a domain or server.

10. Type the name of the next domain for which you want to set the primary DNS suffix, and then click OK.

11. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for that domain.

12. Repeat steps 8 through 10 to select each subsequent domain and repeat steps 2 through 7 to set the primary DNS suffix for each subsequent domain that is being renamed.

                 

To apply the Group Policy setting Primary DNS Suffix to groups of member computers

1. In Active Directory Users and Computers, right-click the domain or organizational unit that contains the group of computers to which you are applying Group Policy.

-Or-

In Active Directory Sites and Services, right-click the site object that contains the computers to which you are applying Group Policy.

2. Click the Group Policy tab.

3. In the Group Policy object Links box, click the Group Policy object that you want to contain the Primary DNS Suffix setting.

-Or-

To create a new Group Policy object, click New and then type a name for the object.

4. With the Group Policy object selected, click Edit.

5. Under Computer Configuration, click to expand Administrative Templates, Network, and then click DNS Client.

6. In the results pane, double-click Primary DNS Suffix.

7. Click Enabled, and then in the Enter a primary DNS suffix box, type the DNS suffix for the domain whose member computers are in the group you selected in Step 1.

8. Click OK.

9. Close the Group Policy dialog box, and then close the properties page for the selected object.

To configure the redirecting alias DNS entry

1. In the DNS MMC snap-in, expand the DNS server node to expose the old DNS zone.

2. Right-click the old DNS zone.

3. Click New Alias (CNAME ).

4. In the Alias name box, type the original fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the HTTP Server..

5. In the Fully qualified domain name for target host box, type the new FQDN of the HTTP Server, and then click OK.

At this point you can test the redirection by pinging the FQDN of the old HTTP server. The ping should be remapped to the new FQDN of the HTTP server.

Issues involving domain rename:

• XDR-Fixup tool does not work on Exchange 2010 
• Exchange SMTP stops functioning
• Exchange organization initialization fails

Simple alternative solutions without renaming domain

Microsoft does not support domain rename if Exchange 2007 installed in member server. So what could be work around if you have to have new user account, corresponding emails account and web sites with new domain name without renaming domain.

• Prepare a control workstation station and log on as a domain admin, schema admin and enterprise admin
• Create a new range of IP in your infrastructure
• Prepare an windows server 2008 and promote as your new primary domain with new domain name
• Create External trust between two domains
• Ask your ISP Add new Host (A) and MX record with new domain

            

• Point this new MX record to existing SMTP server
• Add new domain into trusted domain list

• Add new email policy for new domain

• Change default email address to new email addresses through email property of mailbox using Exchange management console

• Migrate IIS web sites to new web server
• Redirect CNAME record to new websites for customers and stakeholder
• Add 301 redirect using Google webmaster if necessary
