In Detail

Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) is the latest in a line of Application Publishing (Reverse Proxy) and Remote Access (VPN) Server products. The broad set of features and technologies integrated into UAG makes for a steep learning curve. Understanding all the features and abilities of UAG is a complex task that can be daunting even to experienced networking and security engineers.

This book is the first to be dedicated solely to Microsoft Forefront UAG. It guides you step-by-step throughout all the stages of deployment, from design to troubleshooting. Written by the absolute experts who have taken part of the product's development, official training and support, this book covers all the primary features of UAG in a friendly style and a manner that is easy to follow. It takes you from the initial planning and design stage, through deployment and configuration, up to maintenance and troubleshooting.

The book starts by introducing UAG's features and and abilities, and how your organization can benefit from them. It then goes on to guide you through planning and designing the integration of the product into your own unique environment. Further, the book guides you through the process of publishing the various applications, servers and resources - from simple web applications to complex client/server based applications. It also details the various VPN technologies that UAG provides and how to take full advantage of them. The later chapters of the book educate you with common routine "upkeep" tasks like monitoring, backup and troubleshooting of common issues. Finally, the book includes an introduction to ASP, which some of the product's features are based on, and can help the advanced administrator with enhancing and customizing the product.

What you will learn from this book

Plan and design the integration of UAG into your unique environment.
Create trunks and publish all kinds of applications on them.

Approach

This book is a hands-on guide, describing concepts, ideas and terminology related to UAG and related technologies. The book starts with a discussion of terms that UAG technology is based on, and proceeds with step-by-step guidance for performing the various tasks related to UAG's core features. Each topic is preceded by a discussion of considerations that the administrator and the organization needs to go through to prepare for the task at hand, and includes plenty of screenshots illustrating what the administrator should expect to see on-screen, with real-life examples of configuration options.

Who this book is written for

If you are a Networking or Security engineer who intends to integrate UAG into the organization network, then this book is for you. You need no experience with UAG or its predecessors, though basic understanding of Networking and Windows Server management and engineering is required. Experience with security systems like Firewalls would also help you to better understand some of the topics covered by this book.

Wish Ben wrote all the technical books....

February 15, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have the kindle version of this book and the companion Customization book for UAG. The Administrators Handbook is a great guidebook on the foundational topics of UAG. It covers the critical items I was most interest in, such as "reverse proxy" application publishing for Exchange and Sharepoint and the newer Direct Access solution. Both subjects are introduced well in this book. I say "introduced" because this is a rapidly changing field, from backend servers to endpoint consumer devices. I believe the book might need an update to catch up with the latest updates to UAG, but it is still a great reference.

This book is appropriate for beginner through intermediate UAG experience. I recommend his Customization book for the more complex solutions, which is also very well written.

Ben also includes a wealth of supplemental resource information to use as additional reference materials and tapping into community support forums.

Side note: A significant amount of change in UAG, TMG, and DirectAccess direction has occured since this book was published (in the 2012 to 2013 timeframe). Collect up the current state of these technologies when you are reading this book and be aware of the changes. I'm hoping an update to the book arrives after the dust settles...

This is core material for ALL UAG admins

February 24, 2012

Format: Paperback

I've been solely focused on UAG and its predecessor versions since 2002. Done implementations and customizations of all levels literally all over the world. Ran and Ben are some of the few engineers out there that I consult with when I run into a tricky UAG issue or need a clever customization idea. They are true UAG gurus. I'm not sure how tey even found the time to write a book with how much time they spend with UAG in real world deployments. Whether you are new to UAG and planning or executing a deployment, a seasoned UAG administrator looking for some insider tips and tricks, or simply looking to further understand the products capabilities in the planning stages so you can help explain your needs to a UAG consultant like me, this book and Rans's & Ben's advice is a must have. Well, it wouldn't hurt to have Ben's other book too :) UAG's true value comes in its flexibility and extensibility. Don't underutilize UAG. Get Ben's books and make the most of your UAG!

Excellent UAG reference for IT or developers

February 4, 2011

Format: Paperback

We've had to work extensively with UAG 2010 over the past year as a platform for extending our software offering. Like many enterprise platform solutions it is very powerful and correspondingly complex, implemented and managed more often by consulting expertise than by end user administrators. This book can allow technical folks without the UAG history to get through basic installation/configuration, but also serves as a very good point-in-time reference for troubleshooting specific problems or answering specific questions. A number of the software developers on the team have mentioned how good the book is and have successfully answered questions using the book. It is well organized and presents all the major functionality. This is a must-have reference for anyone spending time implementing or managing a UAG 2010 environment.

Initial Review

March 10, 2011

Format: Paperback

I have been an ISA Server and Forefront TMG specialist for many years and decided that I wanted to add experience in the Unified Access Gateway 2010 sphere as well. By using this book it allowed me to understand the fundamental requirements, design a basic implementation and get a small set of http and https trunks operational in quick order.

Following on from this, it moves into a whole new world revolving around the new Microsoft DirectAccess arena. Ths is quite a complicated arena and the book has made a good effort in demystifying the procedure.

The troubleshooting sections proved extremely useful when I started branching out and enabling other functions and testing the publication of my own applications.

All-in-all a good read and a good tool in any administrators library.

Very informative book with systematic overview of UAG's components and features

March 20, 2011

Format: Paperback

If you are looking for a book that describes and explains the numerous features of Forefront Unified Access Gateway, than this is the book I can certainly recommend. The authors systematically describe UAG topics from planning the deployment and installation of UAG, different methods of application and services publishing towards day-by-day tasks of UAG admins and useful techniques for troubleshooting potential problems. The book also covers and clarifies implementation of Microsoft's DirectAccess technology.

What I think differentiates this book from other similar IT reference books is easy, sometimes even amusing style of writing, so you can without any trouble read the book from one end to the other. If you are working with UAG, this book definitely is a great reference and technical resource.

This is THE book on UAG

February 23, 2012

Format: Paperback

I have been installing and supporting UAG for years and I cannot think of a better person than Ben Ari to write the book on it. Anyone who has or is looking into Unified Access Gateway needs to own a copy of this book. No I take that back, anyone who is using any edge of the network solution for providing remote access to internal applications needs to read this, so that you can know what you are missing out on if you don't already have UAG.

Very good UAG reference book

March 4, 2011

Format: Paperback

I am in the planning stages of an upgrade from IAG to UAG. This book has been a great resource for basic UAG configuration up through advanced application publishing and onto long term maintenance strategy. The ~500 pages are a very easy read, with concise pertinent graphics throughout. I have already recommended this book to the rest of my team. I have exchanged a few emails with the co-author Ben in the past through his TechNet blog, and he is a very approachable and extremely knowledgeable guy.
