Forefront UAG on-demand operations

Updated: February 15, 2013

Applies To: Unified Access Gateway

To improve the availability and reliability of your Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) deployment, you should actively monitor system resources, the operating system, connectivity, and important Forefront UAG services. Preventive maintenance combined with disaster recovery planning and regular backups will help minimize problems if they occur. If you have System Center Operations Manager deployed in your organization, you can also monitor Forefront UAG by importing and using the Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) System Center Operations Manager Management Pack (version 4.0.1095.0).

The following topics describe the operation tasks that you should do, as and when required:

• Monitoring users

• Monitoring endpoint sessions

• Monitoring applications

• Monitoring and managing array members

• Monitoring server resources

• Checking connectivity

• Checking that authentication servers are available

• Querying events

• Backing up Forefront UAG

• Backing up and restoring with export and import

• Changing an internal IP address on the Forefront UAG server in SP1
