Product Details
Series: Admin Companion
Paperback: 1008 pages
Publisher: Microsoft Press; 1 edition (February 20, 2010)
Jim Harrison is a program manager on the Microsoft Forefront Edge Security Team who also designs integrated security solutions for Microsoft extranets and intranets. He is the coauthor of Microsoft's Forefront Community Page "Tales from the Edge". Jim is a former tester on the Microsoft ISA Server Sustained Engineering Team, and prior to that, served as an electronics technician for the US Navy.
This book is thorough and well written from a technical aspect. It is also the only Threat Management Gateway book in print at this time, as far as I know.
The only strikes against it...
It is dry, as you would expect from most technical manuals. There is none of the humor of Mark Minasi or the exuberance of Tom Shinder's writing.
I have come across a couple items that I think are incorrect due to the book having been written before TMG 2010 was actually released. Microsoft Press has a section on their website for updates to books, but as of my writing this, no corrections have been posted.
Some of the concepts in here could probably use a little more thorough explanation (for me it was NLB). But all in all, a well done book. At this point in time, I would consider this a must-purchase if you are going to use TMG 2010.

Overall, the book is an excellent resource for those new to TMG/ISA configuration. It describes several of the new features present in TMG, but I was amazed to see that it had absolutely no information on arrays. Arrays are an extremely important addition to TMG, with both the Standard and Enterprise versions of the product able to utilize array functionality.

Excellent book, well written. Very strong in technical detail.
I would suggest this book is for the more experienced user and for those who want to learn and come to understand what makes this software tick and the principles that drive it.
If you are looking for a quickie setup guide then this will not do it for you. This books' weakness is lack of detail in describing how to set up and configure TMG up from scratch.

I have used ISA Server 2006 since 2006 and thought implementing a 2 server TMG enterprise array would be no problem. After some issues, I bought the book and had it delievered the next day. The book was very helpful, especially in its content about planning properly and various network design considerations. I was able to correct many issues and get my system operational much quicker. The TMG is complicated, so chasing symptoms can be time consuming.
Especially helpful are the "Real World" sections scattered throughout the book. These show actual TMG problems resolved and their underlying causes. For example, I was having a problem with IP Spoofing. Pp. 596-7 describe the problem in detail and how to resolve it. Another nice feature is chapter 33 on using Network Monitor 3 for Troubleshooting TMG.
While Microsoft Technet and the TMG built in help are somewhat helpful, I needed to know the how and why of the systems features. The authors' explanation of network protocols in conjunctin with TMG also help.
I recommend this book for any person planning to implement TMG. The book will help you plan properly and get the most out of the system. It is also helpful for troubleshooting.

wow this new novel from jim harrison is just so long! it is his longest novel at over a 1000 pages! JEEZ! This is like his "Legends of the Fall" Winter-Spring--Summer and Fall again!! A must for computer buffs! I highly reccomend this tomb of Harrison's visionary journey into the mind of threats of managers! the friction is intense as the characters converge in the silicon jungles of Cupurtino! Don't miss this one!
