Bonjour, Voici une nouvelle intéressante d'un fournisseur de solutions de load balancing, KEMP :   Étant donné que Microsoft a annoncé la cessation de certains produits de la gamme Forefront, un grand nombre de partenaires et de clients finaux nous demandions s’il y avait quelque chose dans la tête pour combler le vide.  La réponse et « Oui ! » Nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer un nouveau « feature-set » qui aidera aux clients d'introduire des fonctionnalités d’équilibrage de charge serveurs...

Now that Exchange Server 2013 is available, some of you may well be wondering how to publish it to the Internet using Microsoft Threat Management Gateway (TMG) or perhaps the Microsoft Unified Access Gateway (UAG). This post will help you configure TMG, for sure, but not UAG – as for the time being, you can’t effectively publish Exchange Server 2013 using UAG without turning off many of the security features in UAG. Why’s that? Well, as you’ll have gathered from other posts on this fine blog, we re-wrote OWA for Exchange 2013. And... [Lire la suite]

A much needed feature was added in Service Pack 2 for Forefront TMG 2010. This great new feature gives you the ability to lock accounts on TMG at the local level before accounts are actually locked out in the domain. The account lockout feature, when used properly, will prevent TMG from trying to authenticate a user to a Domain Controller after the defined number of bad passwords has been attempted. In one of my previous blogs I talked about scenarios where TMG is being used as a reverse proxy and the Account Lockout Threshold has... [Lire la suite]

Problem When publishing Exchange 2010 “Outlook Anywhere” via TMG 2010, you may find that some of your external Outlook users may intermittently experience issues sending email. They may report, when sending a new email, that the email may get “stuck” in the Outbox folder. The users may find that the email will be sent after a random number of minutes…or not at all. Forcing a Send and Receive does not help. However, they may find that if they close and restart the Outlook client, the items are then sent. The difficulty in... [Lire la suite]

Here’s a new Knowledge Base article we published recently. This one talks about a fix for an issue where the TMG 2010 firewall service crashes frequently and logs an Event ID 14057. ===== Symptoms Consider the following scenario: You install Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010. You use Forefront Threat Management Gateway to publish a secure website by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).

Usually we’re using tools like Network Monitor, various text file parser, Procmon, Windbg… to solve ISA/TMG cases every day in and out in Microsoft Customer Service & Support. Sometimes we also use Excel to be able to filter the exported Firewall or Web Proxy Logs our customers send to us, e.g. only display traffic for a specific Client IP or for a specific rule. Some time ago I realized that there’s another quite powerful feature of Excel, which I didn’t connect with analyzing network traffic before, but more with things like... [Lire la suite]
