Forefront Internet Security Gateway

Why would you turn off an SBS server, it's AD and Exchange, it's up all the time?
 
Either way it's fairly trivial, whether recommended or not, to config the TMG host to act as a DHCP host as well, just enable the server role and punch the appropriate holes in the firewall.

Do note that TMG was designed to function in a domain environment and if it's not added to the domain you may have to do a few things manually like importing certificates and such to get it to talk to the exchange server securely, either way it's pretty easy to setup
 
I loved our TMG. We ran it within EBS and once you got the hang of it everything was fine. We used it for NAT/Proxy/Firewall.

I'm debating about doing the same thing as another poster here, putting this in front of my exchange and maybe sharepoint farm. I don't think our Checkpoint device would do what TMG can do for these products.
 
I'm probably going to untangle the beast OR sell it back on ebay so i can buy a Dell R200 like i should have :)
