Microsoft Reputation Services 1.1

Tags:  TMG

The TMG team has announced the 1.1 version of the MRS. These services are responsible for the categorization of the URL filtering of TMG.

Because more and more people were using the Services the capacity has tripled. Together with a new way of categorizing it will result in faster new/changed URL classifications made availability to customers.

Furthermore a couple of changes in the MRS Portal were made that will result in better user experience on the MRS Portal.

TMG Best Practice Analyzer

Tags:  TMG

Recently a diagnostic tool that automatically performs specific tests on configuration data collected on the local Forefront TMG computer was released by Microsoft.

The Forefront TMG BPA creates reports with details of critical configuration issues, potential problems, and information about the local computer. By following the recommendations of the tool, administrators can achieve greater performance, scalability, reliability, and uptime.

The Forefront TMG BPA is supplied with two supplemental tools:

  • The TMG Data Packager enables you to create a single .cab file containing Forefront TMG diagnostic information that can be easily sent to Microsoft Product Support Services for analysis.
  • BPA2Visio generates a Microsoft Office Visio® diagram of your network topology as seen from a Forefront TMG computer or any Windows computer based on output from Forefront TMG BPA. Note that Microsoft Office Visio 2003, 2007, or 2010 must be installed in order to run BPA2Visio.

Important: This BPA Tool is designed to support Forefront TMG only
