As Yuri Diogenes reminded us on his blog a few days ago, Microsoft ISA Server 2006 ended mainstream support on January 10, 2012, which leaves organizations without an extended support contract with no support for ISA Server 2006 at all. With that, planning a migration from ISA server to Forefront TMG 2010 has never been more urgent or important. To assist you in that endeavor, here are some resources that I’m certain you will find helpful:

Today marks the second anniversary of the release to manufacturing (RTM) for Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) 2010. In the two years since its release Microsoft has provided two major service packs that have increased stability, improved performance and scalability, and also added some helpful new functionality. During this time the product also achieved Common Criteria (level EAL4+) certification. As we approach the end of mainstream support for Microsoft ISA Server 2006 SP1, now is a good time to begin evaluating Forefront TMG 2010 and to start planning your migration!
