Forefront TMG 2010 Update Center Quick Tip
The Update Center in the Forefront TMG 2010 management console provides an instant view of the status of signature updates for the Malware Inspection and Network Inspection System (NIS) protection mechanisms. However, the column layout leaves out important information that can be essential when troubleshooting signature update issues. By default, the Last Checked and Last Success columns are hidden from view. To display these details, right-click anywhere in the column headings and then select Add/Remove Columns.
Next, select the Last Checked and Last Success columns and click Add.
Now you’ll see when the Forefront TMG 2010 firewall last checked for updates and when it was last successful.

Updating SQL Server on Forefront TMG 2010
Keeping the base operating system of your Forefront TMG 2010 firewall up to date is vitally important to the overall security of your edge security solution. To manage system updates, many administrators will configure their Forefront TMG 2010 firewalls to use Windows Update or WSUS, or manage them using System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) or another third-party systems management platform.
In my experience, SQL server running on the Forefront TMG 2010 firewall is often overlooked and commonly not updated. I believe this happens because updates for SQL server are classified as optional.
So, as a reminder, don’t overlook updates for SQL server on Forefront TMG 2010 firewalls or UAG 2010 servers! Using the Windows Update control panel application, select the option to install the latest service pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2008, which at the time of this writing is Service Pack 3. You can install the service pack directly if you choose; SQL Server 2008 Express SP3 can be downloaded here. After applying the latest service pack you can confirm that SQL has been updated by opening an elevated command prompt and entering the following commands:
osql -E -S .\msfw select @@version [press enter] go [press enter]
The output of the command should indicate that the installed SQL version is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) – 10.0.5500.0 (X64).
Note: Applying service packs and updates to SQL is highly recommended to maintain the most secure Forefront TMG 2010 firewall possible. Upgrading the version of SQL installed on the TMG firewall is not supported and definitely not recommended, so don’t attempt to upgrade to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.
Forefront TMG 2010 Service Pack 2 Now Available
Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Forefront TMG 2010 is now available. In addition to numerous fixes released since SP1 and SP1 hotfix rollup 4, this service pack also includes the following new features:
New reports – A new site activity report that provides details about requests made to specific web sites for individual users.
New error pages – TMG SP2 provides the option to use new error pages that feature a whole new look and feel. In addition, these new error pages are more easily customized and can now include embedded objects.
Kerberos authentication for NLB – TMG SP2 includes the ability to leverage Kerberos authentication for clients accessing enterprise arrays via the NLB virtual IP address (VIP).
You can download Forefront TMG 2010 service pack 2 here. Please note that this update requires that Forefront TMG 2010 SP1 and software update 1 for TMG SP1 be installed prior to installing Forefront TMG 2010 SP2. Once TMG SP2 has been installed successfully the build number will be 7.0.9193.500.
