Never thought I'd quote Tom Petty in here.

I publish OWA through my Juniper.

How else could you publish OWA (for example)?
UAG? Yes, but that's more expensive.
With a Cisco, Sonicwall, Juniper, etc. device?
To my knowledge, TMG and UAG are the only options.
Right? |

It's also 3-5 times as expensive and more difficult to implement and manage. |

For publishing websites and VPN, Forefront Unified Access Gateway is a better solution to TMG anyway (at least from what I've read.) |

Ahhhhh, noooooooo.
I love my ISA 2006 server and was just looking at plans to upgrade it to TMG.
Does anyone know of a solution that can mimic ISA's ease of publishing websites, provide VPN services and allow for simple OWA access?
Shoot, this is really a bummer.

Sure, I remember ISA 2000. Never had any experience with Proxy Server 2.0, though.
I agree that ISA/TMG is the sh!t for publishing Exchange server to the web.
If in fact, this is the end of the road for TMG, there's a good chance that we'll see the functionality baked into something else. Maybe UAG or even Windows Server, itself. Included, as one of the Server Roles.

I like ISA/TMG from version 2006 and up, anyone remember ISA 2000? TMG is a great product, I love the features for web filtering and malware inspection and how easy it is to set up.
By the way, don't forget that this 'news' is based on rumours and Microsoft has not confirmed the statement. |

I'm still pissed off at the whole ISA/TMG thing I went through a few months ago. One must understand that I had a lot of custom self-made stuff with ISA/TMG that I still miss - one of the most prominent being all the data and so forth I obtained by having ISA/TMG store information in a SQL Server database and then using SQL Server Reporting Services to pull reports from that data. That and I did love how TMG hosted an Exchange OWA site.
Alas, Timberk is right. I did jump ship. My jumping ship started when Aidan at the last Minasi Conference gave me an earful of all the disadvantages of software firewalls as compared to hardware firewalls (almost all of it being performance related). Then I had my weekend of hell migrating from ISA 2004 to TMG 2010. Not only did the upgrade sour but MS tech support gave me truly bad service for the first time in almost a decade. The only thing that saved my bacon was Wes Lazara being kind enough to help me survive (THANKS WES) and he got me up on Juniper.
I still miss ISA/TMG, but all it takes is one sour upgrade; one bad experience with something mission critical....
My condolences to all the ISA/TMG MVP's.

Yeah, I've been following that story on Deb Shinder's blog:

http://blogs.isaserver.org/shinder/2011/05/27/death-of-tmg/
The loss of TMG/ISA is a shame. Though I'm probably the only one here, who feels that way. At least, now that JamesNT has jumped ship......
