flyinghaggis Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 We use Microsoft UAG 2010 for our staff to run RDP and remote apps on their home computers . From what I'm reading on the Technet website it seems to imply that they don't currently support this using Windows 8 / IE 10? UAG 2010 Service Pack 3 is in the works - Forefront UAG Product Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs Is it really the case the Microsoft aren't supporting the latest version of their own software or am I missing something ?
jamesfed Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 As with many Microsoft products (system centre to name just one) there does always seem to be a delay between the client/server OS release and the release of the tools to manage them. Ultimately early adopters can use the beta editions of many of these services (don't think there is one for UAG as yet) however for most its just a matter of waiting. Some companies like PaperCut are much better at supporting the early adopters and then you have people like RM who say yeaaahh we will do it....some day....
Ergo Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 We came across this recently - there is a Windows Update for RDP on Windows 7 which also breaks the ability to connect to UAG published remote desktop sessions. Roll on SP3... Dave Edit: Just realised that is mentioned in the TechNet Article! Doh.
flyinghaggis Posted January 25, 2013 Author Posted January 25, 2013 If some of our staff had installed something unusual, were running Windows 8 beta or had bought it the day it was released I could understand but when it's been out for over a quarter and anyone buying a new laptop will get it by default! Maybe Windows 8 sales have been so poor that MS don't see it as a priority!
Achandler Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Your not missing anything, Windows 8 just isn't supported yet. it is pretty ridiculous, I believe UAG detects it as a Windows NT device... This is a real issue when you want to see if a Windows tablet could work with UAG to offer file access and programs etc.
flyinghaggis Posted February 8, 2013 Author Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) I noticed in another thread Microsoft Forefront TMG is now being retired. They haven't commented on UAG yet but the fact that it's taken over 6 months after release for MS to get round to making Windows 8 work with it makes me suspect it's probably not long for this world either.

Achandler Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 I believe it is being continued, I'm sure they have said they are continuing with it.
Theblacksheep Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 UAG 2010 SP3 released UAG 2010 SP3 download 1
Achandler Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Always one to take a risk, I have installed it, and our file access has broken. Windows 8 works though...
Achandler Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Following up from the my post yesterday, having run a windows update (not one through WSUS), the File Access is now fixed.
zounds Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Following up from the my post yesterday, having run a windows update (not one through WSUS), the File Access is now fixed. Could you let me know which update fixed your File Access? We're in the same boat. File Access works in Firefox but getting a 500 in IE - Cheers.
Achandler Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I have been checking this again this morning and it has broken again, I wonder if the restart from the updates solved it. I have noticed that my UAG server has given me an error saying that my DC (the one used for File Access) is trying to access it to many times, and is going to be blocked. I have added this as an exception on TMG and I am going to try restarting it tonight and see if it works.
zounds Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Well at least uninstalling SP3 went without a hitch, File Access now working again in IE9, people with IE10 will just have to carry on using Firefox or Chrome until a fix is found. Edited February 25, 2013 by zounds
Theblacksheep Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Features Depreciated in UAG 2010 SP3 'File Access' is one of them. Sigh. Edited February 25, 2013 by Theblacksheep
Achandler Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Following my previous post, the File Access is working with Firefox and Chrome I believe but not Internet Explorer at the moment. So it appears the patch has stopped IE only, I read about it be deprecated but that doesn't mean it is removed
zounds Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Features Depreciated in UAG 2010 SP3 'File Access' is one of them. Sigh. Thanks, It's quite ironic that after installing SP3 (the update UAG users have been waiting so long for) File Access is broken in ALL versions of IE as opposed to just IE10, but still works in third party browsers! Even if the feature is deprecated, it should still by that definition be at least as functional as it was in previous versions! I've been looking at Sharepoint publishing via UAG, but don't really want to pay out for third party tools such as SalamanderSoft's My Documents & My Shared Documents Web Parts that are needed to achieve the functionality we already have (had!). Might have to bite the bullet tho' if there's no fix before IE10 appears in Windows Update. I hate Microsoft right now!
Theblacksheep Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Could try this out: SharePoint Blog - René Hézser - Major Update to the Fileserveraccess Web Part
zounds Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Could try this out: SharePoint Blog - René Hézser - Major Update to the Fileserveraccess Web Part Thanks, I'll take a look - We use File Access for staff to access their home directories and 'H' Drive tho', briefly reading the comments it may only be good for the latter. I think what we'll probably do before installing SP3 again is install Firefox on all staff laptops with UAG as the homepage and tell them 'you have to click on that orange shortcut to access your files from home', will be a bit of a pain, but probably the easiest solution at the moment.
andy_nic Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 The problem only appears to affect IE. It seems to be the way UAG checks the IE version number. Try this fix: In the following file: ..\Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway\von\FileAccess\Default.asp Change the line ver = CInt(lowerAgent.substr(lowerAgent.indexOf("msie")+5,2)) to ver = lowerAgent.substr(lowerAgent.indexOf("msie")+5,2) Worked for my manager! 4

slice Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 After applying UAG SP3 File Access works for Chrome but not IE9 /IE10 This fixed it for me: IT Calls Blog: UAG 2010 File Access application fails to open/start after UAG 2010 SP3 implementation
