Service Pack 1 for TMG 2010
introduced many new features and bug fixes. Shortly
after it was released, Microsoft released a new update
package for TMG SP1 called Software Update 1 for TMG
SP1. This as well introduced new features and bug
fixes.
Software Update 1 is not a
cumulative update, that is it does not contain Service
Pack 1 for TMG. You cannot
install Software Update 1 without first installing
Service Pack 1 for TMG. The correct order of updating
your TMG server is first by installing service pack 1
and then installing software update 1 for TMG Server
service pack 1.
You can download SP1 from :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=f0fd5770-7360-4916-a5be-a88a0fd76c7c
and you can download SU1 from :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=695d0709-0d8b-45ee-afdb-727c4428ca4d
lets start first by downloading and
installing SP1 :
Be aware that there are two files
which can be downloaded. To update TMG server itself,
download the TMG-KB981324-AMD64-ENU.msp
file, the other file TMG-KB981324-x86-ENU.msp
is for updating the remote management console which is
installed on a 32-bit machine. I covered how to manage
TMG Server from a 32-bit machine previously in :

To install SP1, follow the below steps:
-
Using your keyboard, click on the
Shift
key and keep on pressing it, then using
the mouse, right
click on the TMG-KB981324-AMD64-ENU.msp
file and choose Copy as Path

-
Click on Start > then
right click on Command Prompt
and click on Run as
Administrator

-
Right click inside command prompt and
click on Paste.

What you have done is copying the path
of the SP1 file, in an elevated
command prompt window. To start with the
installation, hit the Enter key.
-
You will receive a security warning window,
click on Open

-
On the Welcome to the Update for
Microsoft Forefront TMG Service Pack 1
window, click on Next

-
Accept the terms and then click Next

-
On the Locate Configuration
Storage Server window, as I'm
installing it on a single server ( not a
member of any array type) , then the
browse button is grayed out. The name of
your TMG server will be shown.
In this window, you can use the
credentials of the currently logged in
user to connect to your CSS or connect
using another user credentials. I will
keep the option Connect using
the credentials of the logged on user,
as the user I'm currently logged on was
used as well to install TMG 2010. Click
on Next

-
On the Ready to Install the
Program window, click on
Install

Installing will start by checking
connectivity with the CSS and then
stopping the related services then
performing the required upgrade.
Once installation is completed, click on
Finish.

Now that you have SP1
installed, its time to upgrade to SU1 :
Like the SP1, SU1 has two files for download, one for the
TMG server itself marked with the arrow as shown below , and the other
file is for the remote management console if you have it
installed on 32-bit client.

To install SU1, simply do the following :
-
Locate the
TMG-KB2288910-amd64-ENU.exe
file and double click on it

- On the Security
warning window, click Run

- On the
Welcome to the Update for Microsoft
Forefront TMG Service Pack 1 Update 1
window, click Next

- Accept the terms and
then click Next

- Similar to SP1, SU1
also requires to connect to the CSS. The
Browse button is grayed because I'm
installing SU1 on a single server ( not
joined to any type of array ). Also I
will keep using the option
Connect using the credentials of the
logged on user, as its the same
user that installed TMG, and then TMG
SP1. Click Next

- On the Ready
to install the Program window,
click Install

- Once installation is
completed, click on Finish

Summary
In this article, I demonstrated to you the steps
required to install Service Pack 1 for TMG, and Update 1
for TMG SP1.
