Forefront Threat Management Gateway VM Several Microsoft Learning requires Internet connectivity for some or all of the labs. To provide a more secure connection to the Internet, Microsoft Learning has created a VM that is running Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG VM). You will need to download and install the TMG VM on each host computer as part of classroom setup. The TMG VM is configured as a secure gateway for Internet access. The TMG VM is configured with two virtual networks, External Network and Private Network. The Private Network is the network that all lab VMs are connected to. The External Network is attached to the network adapter on the host computer, which provides access to the network that the host machine is attached to, and ultimately access to the Internet. Each computer in the lab VMs will be configured with the TMG VM as the default gateway. The TMG VM will be configured with a web access rule that will enable the VMs on the Private Network to access the Internet. To ensure that the environment is secure, this rule is disabled by default, and must be enabled as part of classroom setup.

Introducing Microsoft Hyper-V Important Note: This setup requires Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V. To facilitate importing virtual machines in to your Hyper-V server, you must run the VMPre-Import scripts which will create symbolic links to the Base/Middle-Tier images in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Learning\MSL-GW\MSL-TMG1\Virtual Hard Disks\ folder.

This learning product is developed using Microsoft® Hyper-V® running on Windows Server® 2008 R2 SP1. Hyper-V is a virtualization technology that allows a single computer to act as a host for one or more virtual machines. The virtual machines use a set of virtual devices that might or might not map to the physical hardware of the host computer. The software that is installed onto the virtual machine is unmodified, full-version, retail software that operates exactly as it does when it is installed onto physical hardware. The following definitions will help you with the remainder of this document: •

Hyper-V: Hyper-V is a server application that enables users to run a broad range of

operating systems simultaneously on a single physical server. Hyper-V is included with some versions of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and other versions of Windows Server. •

Host Computer: The physical computer onto which an operating system and the

Hyper-V server role have been installed.

2


•

Host Operating System: The operating system that is running on the physical

computer. Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 is the supported operating system for this learning product •

Virtual Machine: The computer that is running inside Hyper-V. In this document,

“Hyper-V” refers to the application running on the host, while “virtual machine” refers to the guest operating system and any software that is running inside the Hyper-V application. •

Guest Operating System: The operating system that is running inside the virtual

machine.

Note: To access the Windows Security dialog box for a guest operating system, press CTRL+ALT+END. Pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE while working with a virtual machine will display the Windows Security dialog box for the host operating system. To close the dialog box, press ESC. Other than this difference, software on a virtual machine behaves as it would behave on a physical computer.

The setup instructions that you will follow as part of this classroom setup guide configure Hyper-V and the Virtual Machines that run on the host. Changing any of the configuration settings may render the labs for this learning product unusable. Note: Some legacy courseware from Microsoft Learning requires Virtual Server or Virtual PC. If your classroom computers require running Virtual Server or Virtual PC as well as Hyper-V, please see Supporting Virtual Server and Virtual PC labs on Hyper-V Classroom Computers in Appendix B.

Setup Overview The host computers must be set up with a 64 bit version of Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1and must be running on 64 bit hardware. For more information on the supported hardware for Hyper-V, please see the follow web site: http://www.microsoft.com/hyper-v. The setup procedures below assume that the host computers can communicate with each other for setup purposes. You should note the administrator’s user name and password for the host computers and provide this information to the instructor.

Classroom Requirements This learning product requires a classroom with a minimum of one computer for the instructor and one for each student. Refer to the specific course setup guide for classroom requirements for the course. Before class begins, use the following information and instructions to install and configure the MSL-TMG1 VM.

Instructor Computer Setup Use the instructions in the following section to set up the classroom manually. Before starting the installation of the instructor computer, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 must be installed on the computer. Important: The operating systems installed on the virtual machines in this learning product have not been activated. Rearm has been run at the end of development, and the OS in the virtual machine will be in a grace state. This grace state lasts for 30 days for the client and 60 days for the server. If you keep these virtual machines running longer than this, you will either have to run rearm or activate the virtual machines using your own keys. If the operating system has not retained this state, you may have time to run the class before activation is required. Otherwise you can rearm the operating system by running slmgr –rearm at the Administrative command prompt. If no additional rearms are available, then the virtual machine will go in to “notification mode” but will still provide full functionality. You will just have to close the initial messages about activation. You may be prompted to restart the computer when the VM is s tarted for the first time. This is because of the hardware differences on the Host computer. You can just click Restart Later to close the message.

Verify that the Last Update Status column for both options is listed as Up to date.

9. Configure and Verify Internet Connectivity for Internal Virtual Machines Before configuring Internet connectivity for the virtual machines, you need to understand the network configuration and Internet access requirements for the training center. Organizations can have many different configurations, and you may need to use one or more of the following procedures to ensure that the TMG server and the other virtual machines on the host machine have Internet connectivity.

12


Verify That the TMG-VM Has Internet Connectivity Note: By default, the MSL-TMG1 virtual machine is configured to use DHCP to obtain an IP address configuration for the network adapter that is connected to the external network. If the training center is using DHCP to assign IP address configurations that enable Internet connectivity, the MSL-TMG1 VM should have Internet connectivity. Use the following steps to verify and, if required, configure Internet connectivity.

1. Log on to the MSL-TMG1 VM as Administrator, password Pa$$w0rd. 2. Open Internet Explorer and attempt to connect to www.bing.com. If the connection succeeds, you can continue with verifying Internet connectivity on the other virtual servers. 3. If you cannot connect to the Internet, you may need to assign a static IP address configuration for the MSL-TMG1 VM. This will be the case if the training center requires static IP addresses for all computers that require Internet connectivity. Request a static IP address for each TMG-VM that you are deploying and configure the virtual machine using the following steps: a.

Open Server Manager on MSL-TMG1.

b. Click View Network Connections. c.

Right-click the Public network connection and click Properties.

d. Click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) , and click Properties. e.

Configure the appropriate IP address, Subnet mask , Default gateway, and Preferred DNS server.

f.

Click OK , and then click Close.

g. Test Internet connectivity again using step 2 above. 4. If you cannot connect to the Internet, and the training center does not require static IP addresses, but does use a proxy server for Internet access, you may need to configure a Web Chaining rule. See the “Optional Procedure if an Internet Proxy Server is used on the network” section below.

Verifying Internet Connectivity from the Virtual Machines If the MSL-TMG1 VM has Internet connectivity, the next step is to verify that the virtual machines have Internet connectivity. To do this, use the following procedure: 1. Log on to the virtual machine using appropriate credentials. 2. Open Internet Explorer and attempt to connect to www.bing.com. If the connection succeeds, repeat this step on all other virtual machines that require Internet access.


13

3. If you cannot connect to the Internet, you may need to reconfigure the network configuration for the MSL-TMG1 VM or the other virtual machines. The MSLTMG1 VM is configured to use the IP address 10.10.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 on the Private network. The internal virtual machines must be configured to use the IP address assigned to the Private network on the TMG-VM as their default gateway. If this is not the case, you have two options: a.

Change the IP address on the Private network on the MSL-TMG1 VM to match the default gateway assigned to the other virtual machines. If you choose this option, change the IP address on the Private network (for example, you can choose an IP address such as 192.168.0.1 network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0). Then, open the Forefront TMG management console on MSLTMG1, click Networking, double-click Internal, and on the Addresses tab, remove the existing IP network range, and then click Add Adapter, select Private, and click OK twice. Click Apply twice and click OK .

b. Change the IP address configuration for the internal virtual machines to use IP addresses on the 10.10.0.0 network (subnet mask 255.255.0.0) and to use 10.10.0.1 as the default gateway. If you choose this option, you will need to reconfigure all virtual machines. You may also need to configure additional IP address settings. For example, if you change the IP address of a domain controller or DNS server virtual machine, you will need to change all of the other virtual machines to use that domain controller or DNS server for DNS. 4. If you have cloned the host machines to complete the classroom setup, the MAC address assigned to the external network adapter on the TMG server many be the same on all host machines. To address this, you will need to reconfigure the MAC address on the TMG virtual machine on each host machine. To do this, complete the following steps. Note that the MSL-TMG1 server must be shut down while you complete this task. a.

In the Hyper-V console, open the Settings dialog box for the MSL-TMG1 virtual machine.

b. Click the Legacy Network Adapter that is connected to the External Network. c.

Under MAC address, click Static. For each host machine, modify the last box of the MAC address so that the Virtual Machine on each host machine has a unique value. See the following screenshot:

14


5. If you cannot connect to the Internet from the virtual machines, but the IP address configuration is correct, the problem may be related to DNS name resolution. a.

To verify that the issue is related to DNS name resolution, open a command prompt and type nslookup www.bing.com. If you receive and error proceed with one of the next two steps.

b. If one of the virtual machines is configured as a DNS server, see the Optional procedure if DNS resolution is restricted to certain DNS servers on your network section below. c.

If none of the virtual machines are configured as a DNS server, then you will need to configure the virtual machine to use a DNS server that can perform Internet name resolution. Request the IP address of a DNS server at the training center that can perform Internet name resolution, and assign that IP address as the DNS server for the virtual machine.

6. The cloud-based SQL Azure Database service is only available through TCP port 1433. If you are able to connect to Internet Web sites from the virtual machines, but cannot connect to SQL Azure, then ensure that the CPLS firewall allows outgoing TCP communication on TCP port 1433. The Firewall rule on the TMG server allows outbound connectivity for all ports.


15

Optional Procedure If an Internet Proxy Server Is Used on the Network Note: you will need to obtain the name of the proxy server used on your network.

Configure upstream proxy server in TMG

1. Log on to the MSL-TMG1 VM as Administrator, with the password of Pa$$word . 2. Click Start, All Programs, Microsoft Forefront TMG, click Forefront TMG Management 3. In the left panel, expand Forefront TMG (MSL-TMG1) and then click Networking. 4. On the Web Chaining tab, click the Default rule, then in the right pane, click Edit Selected Rule. 5. On the Action tab select Redirecting them to a specified upstream server 6. Next to Upstream proxy server, click Settings. 7. In the Specify Upstream Server Configuration box type: a.

Server: {name of server} example: proxy.contoso.com

.

b. Port: 80 c.

SSL Port: 443

8. Select Automatically poll upstream server for the configuration . 9. Ensure the Server URL is http://{name of server }:80/array.dll. 10. On the Bridging tab, in the Redirect SSL Requests as box, select SSL request, and then click OK . 11. Click Apply, click Apply, and then click OK .

Optional Procedure If DNS Resolution Is Restricted to Certain DNS Servers on Your Network Note: You will need to obtain the IP address of an appropriate DNS server on your network that can be configured as a forwarder.

Configure DNS forwarder on VM running DNS on Private Network side of MSLTMG1 VM

1. On your host computer open a command prompt and type ipconfig /all. 2. Copy down one of the DNS server IP addresses.

16


3. On the VM running DNS in the lab environment (e.g. MIA-DC1), click Start, Administrative Tools, DNS. 4. Click the server name, and then double-click Forwarders. 5. On the Forwarders tab, click Edit. 6. Type the IP address of an available DNS server from step 2 above. 7. Click OK twice and then close DNS Manager. Note: After completing the classroom setup for the MSL-TMG1 VM, return to the course specific classroom setup guide and complete the setup for the course.

Appendix B Supporting Virtual Server and Virtual PC Labs on Hyper-V Classroom Computers Microsoft Learning has created courseware with virtual labs that have required different virtualization technologies to be running on classroom computers. Legacy courseware from Microsoft Learning requires Virtual Server or Virtual PC, while current courseware requires Hyper-V. It is relatively easy to run courses on Virtual Server and Virtual PC on the same classroom computers. However, switching between legacy courses and courses that require Hyper-V requires significant classroom configuration changes and often involves re-imaging the classroom computers. The following procedure is offered as an option to help facilitate delivery of legacy and current Microsoft Learning courseware on the same classroom computers. If you require Hyper-V based courses as well as Virtual Server and Virtual PC courses on the same classroom computers, follow this optional procedure to set up a dual boot configuration. Virtual Server and Virtual PC can run on a computer that is running Hyper-V, however, the virtual machines will run very slowly. The procedure below creates a second boot entry that starts Windows Server with the hypervisor turned off. Running Virtual Server and Virtual PC VMs with the hypervisor turned off will improve the performance of the virtual machines.

Configure classroom computer to support Hyper-V, Virtual Server and Virtual PC based labs 1. Install Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. 2. Install Hyper-V Role. 3. Update Hyper-V role if necessary (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950050). 4. Create a boot entry with the hypervisor turned off. The following procedure provided courtesy of Ben Armstrong http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2008/04/14/creating-a-no-hypervisor boot-entry.aspx a.

Open an administrative command prompt.

b. To view current boot configuration type: bcdedit.exe

c.

To create a copy of the current active boot entry and provide an appropriate name type: bcdedit.exe /copy {current} /d "Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 - no hypervisor"


d. To see the new boot entry type: bcdedit.exe Note: hypervisorlaunchtype set to Auto

e.

To turn off the hypervisor in the new boot entry type: bcdedit.exe /set {nnn} hypervisorlaunchtype Off
