    Hello,

    When doing a new a new deployment of UAG, is it ok to apply all updates and services packs prior to running the Getting Started Wizard and activating a configuration, or should an activation occur after the initial install, and prior to upgrading?

    Thanks!

    Hi Amig@. I usually apply updates for UAG, TMG and operating system before running the wizard and, so far, it has always worked right

    Regards

    There is one potential problem with running all of the updates before running the wizard. If you run all of the updates, then run the wizard and get some kind of error message, you won't know if the error has something to do with one of the updates or with a misconfiguration. For example, a common mistake I see people make is inputting an incorrect subnet mask or default gateway information into the external NIC. When this happens, if you try to get into UAG and run the wizard and activate for the first time, you will run into errors and problems which will eventually lead you to the solution (fix the IP config). But, if you just went ahead and installed all of the updates and then started getting these messages you have a wider scope of possibilities for what is causing your errors which would take you longer to troubleshoot.

    So all that to say, either way should be fine, but I normally open UAG, run the wizard and do an initial Activation before installing updates just to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. :)

    Ditto...I remember an issue in UAG SP1 where it wouldn't work if you applied SP1 before running the GSW and performing at least one activation...
