Microsoft TMG (Threat Management Gateway) 2010 is basically the latest version of it’s elder brother Microsoft ISA.

The product is much better than it’s earlier release especially after releasing service pack 2, which gave it much more utilities and power.

Today we will be guiding you through utilizing the product to be able to block Uploading files to different sites, and especially to Webmail sites.

We will keep posting about other tweaks for this product in the following weeks.

Since it’s not a straight forward process we will be guiding you through the steps:
