Hi,
When I first tried to install Forefront TMG on a test XenServer, there was no way to get any network traffic flowing.
By looking at the logs I could see that the rules where fine, but that every packet was dropped because a wrong TCP Checksum.
To solve this I had to disable the generation of TCP Checksums on each virtual network interface.

Do you also have “fakeraid”, and want to use it with XenServer?
Well, you might be in luck, or maybe not 
If you use RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10 you are lucky.
However, if you use RAID5 like me, you have a problem.

It is possible to attach a hard disk directly to a XenServer guest.
I use this so I can always read these disks with another Windows Server, whenever the XenServer host would fail completely.

Hi,
When trying to install Windows Small Business Server 2008 on a XenServer System, i encountered several errors.
The first ones I don’t really remember, but they where fixed by installing the XS-Tools before starting the SBS configuration wizard.
- Install SBS 2008
- On first boot (when the Configuration Wizard shows up), press Ctrl+Shift+Esc
- Choose xs-tools.iso in the DVD Drive dropdown list
- Go back to the Task Manager, click on “File”, “New Task”.
- Browse to the cd and run the setup.
- After this reboot the server (once or twice).
- Continue with normal installation
Then there was another problem when trying to install on XenServer 5.5. At some point in the installation the server rebooted and then stated that you should retry the setup.
The only fix for this problem that I found was to choose ”Other install media” as the Template, and not “Windows Server 2008 x64″
Here are the steps you need to take, and some things to keep in mind
- Open Exchange Management Shell (as Administrator)
- New-EdgeSubscription -file C:\EdgeSubscription.xml
- Answer “Y”
- Transfer EdgeSubscription.xml to the Exchange Server
- Open Exchange Management Console
- In the left tree choose “Organization Configuration” and then “Hub Transport”
- In the Actions pane click “New Edge Subscription”
Check if everything is working:
- In the Exchange Management Console, Organization Configuration, Hub Transport, Edge Subscriptions.
Your Edge Server should be listed
- Open Exchange Management Shell and run Start-EdgeSynchronization
Problems:
- “New-EdgeSubscription : The task couldn’t add the certificate to the ADAM directory service store. Error: access is denied.”
Open Exchange Management Console as Administrator
- “Start-EdgeSynchronization : unable to contact EdgeSync service”
Go to Services, search for “Microsoft Exchange EdgeSync”, and click Properties
Change Startup type to Automatic and Start the service.
- Firewall Issues:
I’ve installed EdgeServer together with Forefront TMG. You have to allow port 50636 from Exchange to EdgeServer
- Also bare in mind that the EdgeSubscription.xml file is only valid for 24 hours or so
