Forefront TMG URL Filtering and MRS

Posted By: David Tesar | Dec 3rd, 2009 @ 10:01 AM | 12,844 Views | 3 Comments

Bill Jensen, PM for TMG, dives deep into the new Microsoft Reputation Services (MRS) which is what powers the URL Filtering capabilities of Forefront Threat Management Gateway. We spend most of the time on the whiteboard explaining how it works, how it is different from the competition, and also give a demo of how the feedback mechanism works inside of TMG.

Never trust a sales man!

Where are the config options? eg. where are the fail-open, fail-block options?

Concerning the MRS lookups:

"How frequently is that by default, is that configurable?"

"This is err.. arrr.. for every URL that happens, if you configure it like that..."

There isn't any bloody configuration available.

TMG web filtering is a bit of a joke in its current form (not just what i mentioned above), I really wanted it to work well - but its not quite there yet.

@Twitchit, he is not a salesman, he is a project manager. I thought the video was pretty good. By the way, very cool graphic in the opening of the video!
