Forefront TMG uses Active Directory (AD) Marker for automatic detection of the location of Forefront TMG. The TmgAdConfig tool is an autodiscovery tool which configures Active Directory with a marker key that points to the Forefront TMG computer. This key is used by the Forefront TMG Client to locate and connect to the Forefront TMG computer.
 Warning: |

| AD Marker is not supported in a workgroup deployment. If your computer is not a member of a domain, either add it to a domain or use the legacy detection methods by unchecking the Use Active Directory (recommended) check box in the Forefront TMG Client‘s advanced settings. |
