There's no comparison because they're really two totally seperate products that are aimed at two different markets. Kind of how you'll probably never see a comparison of a Ferrari 599 against a Bugatti Veryon. Both crazy fast expensive cars, but aimed at two different markets.
I've used both. In fact our internal office uses TMG, and our remote site uses ...

Exactly as Mark said, they're very much two entirely different products. If you're looking for a proxy server that's tightly integrated with Active Directory and provides a slew of nice functionality in that area, you want TMG. If you need advanced NAT, routing, multi-WAN, flexible cross-platform VPN options, etc. you're somewhere between some, minimal and ...

What you are seeing is a SID (Security Identifier). This is a unique identifier. Every AD object has a SID, and internally, the SID is always referenced, not the name. This is why you can change a user/group name and not break anything - the SID is what's referenced behind the scenes.
When you inspect an object, the SID is usually replaced with the object's ...

The Exchange Edge Transport role and Forefront Protection for Exchange 2010 will integrate neatly with TMG if you wanted to do it that way.
Otherwise, FPE2010 can also be installed on hub servers. Some features won't be available though.
Edit: Sorry, I missed the DAG part! See here (bottom of the page) for considerations on DAG servers.

Looks like it might be a known issue: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/FSENext/thread/78e0ae47-58b1-400f-87d0-dc41fd393acc/
You mentioned in chat that you're seeing the high SCL value set on messages that pass thru your E2K3 bridgehead but not on messages that deliver directly to E2K10 / FPE. If you're going to stay in production in that ...

So this is how I finally got this working:
Don't use Web Site publishing rules, use a Non-Web Server rule instead
Use the default HTTPS Server protocol definition
Do not enable any filters in the protocol
In the To section of the rule, have requests appear to come from the original client
Also, unrelated but alas, make sure the Web Server is a SecureNAT ...

The DirectAccess capabilities between UAG and Server 2012 are almost all the same. The advantages that Server 2012 DA has over UAG DA are when using all Windows 8 client computers. If you are, then you get the capability to provide multi-site DirectAccess (multiple datacenters with failover). This only works for Win8 clients though, not Win7. If your clients ...

Just like both Mark and Chris said, the products differ too much to be compared with eachother, and now, I will make it more "unfair" because I will compare some differences between TMG SP1 + Software update 1 vs BETA version of pfSense 2.
pfSense is an incredible firewall with many nice and advanced features, and extremely low hardware requirements ...

Virtualizing adds overhead to just about every aspect of the machine. You'll find almost all of the cons boil down to that additional complexity.
The main Pros are that you can put those two (or more) TMGs on a cluster where you have can considerably better uptime, VMs are quicker to spin up, and dynamically allocating resources to them is considerably ...

that shouldn't be your problem but the steps to configure revese caching rules can be found here: Configure Forefront TMG as a Proxy Cache

TMG can act in the manner you described, but it can also act a normal firewall, or as a NAT/firewall as well.
It can also act as a reverse proxy.
If your application sticks to standard TCP/UDP communication, TMG can publish it. If it uses HTTP, then TMG can publish it, route it, and even inspect it.

You'll need the second NIC in a different subnet in order for Windows routing to be happy. Then, TMG NATs between the internal subnet, and the external subnet (using the Edge layout anyway).
To push all traffic through the TMG box, point clients to it as the default gateway. It's likely to be a fairly major change to how the network works at the moment, so ...

You do all your routing setup from within the TMG MMC. It then goes and adds the routes via the RRAS service for you.
If the NIC4 is configured correctly and TMG has firewall policies and network policies that permit it, the traffic will stay inside your network.
This is a fairly common setup, nothing out of the ordinary here.

There's an overview of deploying the client here
A couple of things to check for any software distribution troubleshooting:
Look at the c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs\execmgr.log on the client. This is the log that tracks package installs
Are the clients actually in a collection to receive the package?
Is the advertisement mandatory? If you just set a ...

No it does not cache authentication, but NAT session will be marked as "authenticated"
It is very similar to what will happen if you:
- have a rule defined
- access the site
- nat session gets created
- you delete the rule
Until that NAT session expires, or you manually expire it from (Monitoring/Sessions) you will continue to access the resource even ...

Forefront Protection 2010 builds on top of Exchanges existing ability's. Adding extra antispam capability (such as using the cloudmark antispam engine) and other facility, such as Antivirus and Antimalware.
Control of the antispam features present in Exchange is integrated into forefront, so they effectively become a part of forefront when installed. As far ...

Microsoft has a whole range of security products under the brand "ForeFront"; the only one of them which has firewall capabilities is ForeFront Threat Management Gateway 2010, though, so I'll assume this is what you're talking about.
ForeFront TMG 2010 is the successor to ISA Server 2006, and as such is a full-featured firewall and web proxy product. It is ...

if you need raw power, process cpu/memory/network at max use physical
if you need to have multiple machines that are load balanced, get provisioned automatically as your load increases use vms.
a note on the 'private clouds' is:
let's say you need X amount of resources to process your application will call it XpowApp - this includes cpu,memory, disk, ...

I have never used Forefront, but using the same IP range for your VPN clients as your internal network only complicates issues. (as you are finding out) You should use a different range for VPN clients, and just have the Forefront box hand them their DHCP IPs instead of passing their requests to your internal DHCP server. Having the VPN clients "use their ...

NLB relies on nodes being on the same broadcast plane as each other, so doesn't usually work well in geographically distributed cluster scenarios (that, and it often costs you a lot in bandwidth broadcasting all incoming traffic across a WAN, only for it to be dropped over there).
Other clustering - perhaps, depending on what you have in mind. TMG doesn't ...

If there is a firewall between the host server and your domain controllers, you will need to ensure it is configured to allow applicable traffic to pass between them. Microsoft have a KB on what's needed:

I know I'm late to the party, but apparently I don't get notified when there are replies to the items I have posted on.
If you use Server 2012 DirectAccess, you shouldn't put any other roles on that server. If you are using UAG DirectAccess, then you can utilize a UAG portal as an ADFS Proxy, that is one of the things it was designed for.

The main difference is Endpoint Protection 20102 is integrated into Configuration Manager 2012—it's no longer a separate piece. When you deploy Endpoint Protection 2012 from Configuration Manager, it will remove existing AV solutions, including previous versions of Forefront. See here:

Answering my own question.
Since I renewed the agent certificate with a new private key, that means that I had to put the hash of the new certificate in the web.config file as the Clm.Encryption.Certificate.Hash for new smartcards going forward, but I had to leave the Clm.Decryption.Certificate.Hash as the thumbprint of the previous (and now archived) ...

First step is to ensure all relevant DNS entries are correct. If you change something so that there is a DNS mismatch, as you currently have, then spend a few moments to edit the entry so that it does match. This is really important stuff.
The next step requires a bit more effort. Go to the web site for each block list you are on and follow their ...

From my reading, it looks like the Forefront TMG will not allow the passing of RDP
connections through the firewall without configuring a non-standard
port for each IP address of the internal servers and clients.
Well, from my reading of your question it looks like you dont know how to use RDP, at least the current iteration ;) I happily connect to ...

That is not correct, no.
Well, that's how it's set up by default, but it's not carved in stone or anything.
The default Protocol definition for RDP does only listen on port 3389, but can be changed. See screenshot. Simply navigate to your Firewall Policy, then Toolbox (on the right hand frame), then Protocols. You can create a new Protocol for your ...
