As you can see there are a lot of fixes in this rollup, I particularly worked in many issues involving 2501650 and 2502686 while the hotfixes were not even ready. Due the nature of those issues I strong recommend you to download this update and plan the installation on your Forefront TMG. To install this update, you must have TMG 2010 SP1 and Update 1 already installed.

Yesterday I post my first WiKi article, it is about Windows Security and the core Windows foundation to cover the security triad (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability). Many IT Pros sometimes jump directly to try to hardening the system without first step back and analyze the business needs as well as how to cover the core security triad using built in resources available on Windows OS. This article will cover this discussion.

Looking forward to chat with you about TMG as Secure Web Gateway.
I created this blog back in February 2008 and since that day I really tried to bring to you interesting troubleshooting techniques based on real scenarios. This blog was always something that I drove on my own free time (not that I have lot of free time), but I tried to managed my time in such way that posting here was part of my regular agenda. The numbers below show how much the traffic increased over the last couple of years in this blog and I would like to thank you all for contributing with that, is because I know you are reading that I feel energized to keep writing.
I can safely say that 90% of the posts that I wrote for this blog were related to ISA/TMG, which makes a lot of sense to me as I was working for CSS Forefront Edge Team. Yes, you read it right, I “was”. Starting Monday (Feb 14th) I will be fully dedicated to the Windows Security Team as a Technical Writer. As one of the co-authors of the Forefront TMG Administrator’s Companion Book and Forefront TMG Deployment Guide, I plan to keep writing about Forefront TMG here, but certainly will not be on the same frequency as before since I will be dedicated to Windows Security subject. From now on I will be more engaged in produce content that will be available in other locations, such as:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/wiki-it-security-portal.aspx
There are some initiatives on the Forefront TMG space that I’m still engaged during this transition phase, which are:
Again, thanks a lot for visiting this blog and I hope to keep partnering with you in 2011, now in a broader way.
Stay Safe!!
Consider a scenario where you are publishing a SMTP Server that uses TLS on Forefront TMG 2010, in such scenario TMG resets the connection to the SMTP client when the SMTP server closes its connection to TMG with a TCP FIN packet. This behavior can cause some specific SMTP client applications to report that message delivery failed even though messages are sent correctly. In this scenario you also will see the following entry on the Live Logging: Incoming SMTP Server 0x80074e24 FWX_E_CONNECTION_KILLED. This problem is documented for ISA Server 2006 in KB 959312. Recently we also experienced the same issue with TMG and the script from KB 959312 fixed the issue. After running this script on TMG you should see the message below on your command prompt windows (which should be opened in privileged mode):
After this change such behavior should go away…and yes, we will update this KB to include TMG.
Note: only run this script on TMG if you are experiencing exactly the same behavior as explained in KB 959312.
