I've Just Installed Forefront TMG Beta In VMware Workstation


I've just installed yesterday(28.04.2008) Forefront TMG Beta in VMware Workstation 6.0.3.

I did not encounter any issues during the installation process.

My test lab included two machines:
 - DC - Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 32-bit, the domain controller
 - TMG - installed on Windows Server 2008 Standard 64-bit, domain member

The host OS was Windows XP PRO SP2 32-bit. Do not forget that you need a processor capable of running guest 64-bit OS, see VMware's Driver&Tools, the Processor Check for 64-Bit Compatibility tool.
