    Hi All!

       Now we have 2 ISA 2006 Ent with following config:
       Primary config storage on the same computer
       Second pointing on other ISA Server
       No Clustering (NLB, CARP etc) configured

    Now i'm prepare to moving to TMG Ent and cluster configuration

    I'm setup one EMS Server with config storage, and 2 TMG Ent Servers, as described http://isaserver.org/tutorials/Configure-Forefront-TMG-integrate-TMG-Array.html
    But after joining to array and entering to EMS Server and open TMG Console, in Internal network properties i cannon see NLB tab, and version of server switched to standart (and button Upgrade is present, asking me a key). Also in System status both servers marced red with error cannot connect to specified server. After Disjoining one server from array i can see NLB tab in internal network properties. So i have following questions:

    1) Is it possible to store configuration on same server as TMG and alternate is second TMG (as configured now) or i need dedicated servers for config storage (no more that 2 servers are planned per array, in Enterprise will be 2 arrays with 2 nodes in array)
    2) Do i need to configure internal network properties for array and creating rules for allow traffic within array on EMS Server before joining TMG Servers to array or not?

    You need to add the EMS server to Enterprise Management Computers if this is the computer you are running the management tools on.
    Otherwise you will not be "allowed" to "see" all things on the TMG servers and they will "look" to be offline.

    If you open the tools on one of the TMG servers you might find that the UI looks different.
