TMG Reporting Failure
-
Tuesday, January 04, 2011 3:39 AM
Hi,
I have an array TMG setup with my first TMG server as the reporting server. When I run a report from the EMS server for a specific user and date I get the following error.
ForeFront TMG Error|
The Operation Failed
The Microsoft Forefront TMG Control service could not be accessed.The error occurred on object 'Reports' of class 'Reports Configuration' in the scope of array 'TMG Array'.
Any ideas why I would be getting this? If I run a normal One time report it all works fine.

Its not a SP or update issue. There is a problem/bug with the program.
I have it working 100% in my dev enviroment with no problems but in production I just can't get this one report to work. Very weird and frustrating.

Hi,
Thank you for the post.
Would you please tell us the version of TMG 2010(English?) – RTM, Service Pack 1 or Update 1 to Service Pack 1?

Has anyone been able to figure this out?
My EMS server was able to generate User Activity Reports last week, and now it generates the said error. I am updated to the latest Service Pack 1 Update for EMS and both Firewall nodes. All reports generate as expected when run from the Firewall nodes.
Help.

This problem exist for many folks still. Can i ask the moderator why the post fromAhmet Abdagic is suggested/marked as answer, whereas it clearly shows this problem is not solved with the suggestion ofAhmet Abdagic.
In my case i have a TMG with SP2 the reports not working is still an issues. it worked from the day i installed TMG and even after i had SP1 and all the updates. It has been broken after 2 months of successful reporting. Currently my error message is the same as what richard_artes wrote.

Yep, we are seeing the broken behaviour too; running site activity reports OR user activity reports.
1 x EMS Server
2 x Front End Proxies in the enterprise Array
All three boxes are running TMG 2010 SP2 (build 7.0.9193.500)The exact message when attempting to run the reports is:-
The Operation Failed
The Microsoft Forefront TMG Control service could not be accessed.
The error occurred on object 'Reports' of class 'Reports Configuration' in the scope of array 'Proxy-Array'.
Doesn't matter where we run the report from it always fails after arount 20-30 seconds.
We previously had the timeout issue when running user reports, but this was fixed with the registry key hack "RS_SOAP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT_IN_MILLISECONDS" This key still exists but that was specifically for the timeout issue.Anyone any ideas? There is very little on the internet (nothing!) about this issue other than this thread. Any news on any Update Rollups Post SP2?

Had a similar issue and getting error:-
Forefront TMG Error: The operation failed.
Error: 0xc00403ec
The Microsoft Forefront TMG Control service could not be accessed.
The error occurred on object 'Reports' of class 'Reports Configuration' in the scope of array <server>.
In my case have 2 x TMG appliances which are load balanced, the second acting as the reporting server. This error occurs when running monthly reports, on a TMG server which is not configured as the reporting server. Running the monthly reports directly on the Reporting server works.
My advice, make sure you running the report on the reporting machine of the array if there is one. Hope this helps.

Try Netfee for TMG.
It can help you to create report correctly.
It need to change log to w3c or TMG file format.

I also have TMG 2010 SP2 and installing SP1 update 1 rollup 4 does not seem to be the way to go.
Any news from Microsoft people?
Thanks,

Yet, Ahmet Abdagic has marked his response as an answer ! LOL.
It is about time someone changed this state of Ahmet Abdagic and can Nick Gu - MSFT make the change.
Back to the problem, i solved this by taking out the Exchange Edge and Forefront Protection for Exchange 2010 out from the TMG.
Reports worked everyday from that day. Even better, with a stable TMG, i manage to add an addiitional network card to create a DMZ and deployed Lync Edge :)

Netfee is cool but i don't want to put anything besides TMG and Windows built in components on a TMG. Trust me.

Any news regarding this issue? TMG 2010 SP2 can't gererate User and Site Activity reports.

Monday, February 27, 2012 12:39 PMThe same problem. Version TMG is 7.0.9193.500. Where are all microsoft's MVP? Can any of them help?

Hi, it seems the solution here is to split TMG separate from Exchange Edge+Forefront for Exchange Protection 2010.
This worked for me and still working now.
i think re-configuration of the Edge + TMG + FF would also work. When running Edge + TMG, almost all management is done from TMG esepcially with FF in the same box.

I'm sorry I was offensive.
TMG installed only as web-proxy. There is no exchange server in the company.
-
Tuesday, February 28, 2012 2:43 PM
No worries, not offensive.
If the web-proxy, domain member?
Regards
Sarbjit Gill
-
Tuesday, February 28, 2012 4:51 PM
Yes, it's domain member. It can generate one time report for any period of time. It can generate user activity report but only for 1 day or less, if I choose a week or a month report I recieve the error message as in the first post.

To remove the obvious, which you might have missed, have you gone thru this list.

Wednesday, February 29, 2012 1:00 PMI do. Reports works but when it's not large. It's perfectly works when I choose users with minimal web traffic (any perod of time) but when I choose users that using internet a lot TMG gives me an error. It's looks like a timeout error.

ah... what is the server spec running TMG ... CPU/MEMORY.
this i agree when the load of traffic goes really high, this happens.

Thursday, March 01, 2012 8:37 AM
TMG 2X Xeon E5345(2.33 GHz) 12 GB Ram
TMG2 2X Xeon 5120(1.86 GHz) 8 GB Ram
Report server is TMG.
I think that 40 MB per day is not really high traffic but maybe i'm wrong.

Any update on this issue?
I am seeing the same error on my TMG Standard box running version 7.0.9027.400. This box also got Exchange Edge and Forefront Protection for Exchange installed on it.
As soon as I run any report I received the error
Forefront TMG Error: The operation failed.
Error: 0xc00403ec
The Microsoft Forefront TMG Control service could not be accessed.
The error occurred on object 'Reports' of class 'Reports Configuration' in the scope of array <server>.
This appears to be a bug, Microsoft can you please fix?

Monday, March 05, 2012 2:34 PM
Nguyen, you better off keeping the Exchange Edge + FFP for Exchange on a separate box from the TMG.
This is the whole issue with the control service. IF is done correctly from the beginning of installation, it works but trying to fix a installation / administration issue which is not working, it not going to work.

Just tried this update on a machine with TMG SP2 + Exchange Edge 2010 + Forefront Protection for Exchange 2010.
It did not fix the report issue. :(

Please follow this KB article.
FIX: Threat Management Gateway 2010 administrators may be unable to generate reports
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2624178
When the SP2 Rollup1 doesn't fix the issue, it means that you still get a timeout as the report generation takes longer than 5min. You have to modify some registry keys according to your needs. This is explained in the article.

We happen to encounter the very same issue at a customer.
There is only one thing we notice. The error only occurs when you have an array of two or more array members. When you have an array with a single array member, the reports a generated perfectly.
I have implementated several TMG arrays at customers. This is the first time I encounter this issue. Any suggestions?

I was able to solve my issue. In our case it appears to be an communication problem with Intra-Array interface. Actually it was a network problem with the VLAN these interfaces where on. Our array-members are devided over two datacenters.
If you encounter this problem with an TMG array. Then temporary configure your array-members with their internal IP Address for Intra-Array communication. If the reports can then be genereated you can be pretty sure you have a problem with your intra-array network interface. This can of course cause the time-out.

Greetings Boudewijin,
What you said "The error only occurs when you have an array of two or more array members", is not true.
i am having this problem and others are well, with only one array member.

I got the same problem with one array, I try to fix but it seem useless , so I use this method to create report instead by going to SOAP endpoint. Even it need to select a report but it faster & reliable than report in TMG itself.
