Thank you for all your response

I will wait for the next version/patch on core

Lucky I saw your last comment within all the spam, must find another solution for that…

To answer your question on if there’s a hack to get it installed, the answer is unfortunately no since the prereqs for RRAS among other things aren’t in Core at all (and are required on a far deeper level than just copying them into the filesystem…)

Hi!

Well, according to the article you’re missing out on two prereqs that won’t install on Core.

Network Policy Server (not possible on Core)
Routing and Remote Access Services (not possible on Core)

So unless Microsoft comes up with a special SKU for TMG/UAG based on Core, we’re out of luck…

I disabled the verification inside the msi but I have a error at the end of the install
“setup failed while creating the services configuration”
I don’t know what can I do
Thank you for your help

Hello,
Thank you for your page but I am still not able to install TMG on 2008 R2 server Core
I tried to copy servermanagercmd from a 2008 but there are still missing file
Is there a way to skip prerequisit check ? Or manually instal them
Thank you for your help
