This topic describes how to create user accounts for Forefront TMG servers in a workgroup. Forefront TMG uses mirror accounts to manage the different servers because you cannot define a shared account outside a domain. You need to define a mirror administrator account on all servers, by creating a user with the same name and password that belongs to the local Administrators group of each server.
 Important: |

| When creating user accounts you should not specify a domain or computer name prefix. |
