Remarks

Automatic detection allows you to configure Web browsers so that they automatically discover the Forefront TMG computer. In this way, roaming clients can connect to the Forefront TMG computer, as appropriate and when necessary. Note that automatic detection is supported only for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 5.

If automatic detection is enabled, a client can discover the Forefront TMG computer in the following manner:

1. When the client makes a Web request, the client connects to a DHCP or DNS server.
2. The DHCP or DNS server must have a Web Proxy Automatic Discovery (WPAD) entry, which points to a WPAD server that indicates the proxy server (in this case, the Forefront TMG computer). For a DNS server, the WPAD information must be published on port 80.
3. The client request for configuration settings is fulfilled by the Forefront TMG computer, as identified by the WPAD entry in the DHCP or DNS server.
