Optional Configuration

After you import the Forefront TMG Management Pack, it begins to discover and monitor computers without any additional configuration. You can, however, configure the Forefront TMG Management Pack for your environment and preferences. For example, you can enable rules which are disabled by default; or if performance measuring rules, which are enabled by default, degrade performance on your servers with slow WAN links, you can turn them off.

To enable a rule

  1. In the Operations Console, on the Navigation menu, click Authoring.

  2. In the navigation pane, expand Management Pack Objects, and then click Rules.

    Note

    To show rules for the Forefront TMG Management Pack only, on the toolbar, click Scope, and then under Target, select the check boxes for the appropriate server components.

  3. Under Rules, right-click the rule that you want to turn on, point to Overrides, point to Override the Rule, and then click For all objects of type: <type of object>.
