I am looking into moving away from Forefront Protection for Exchange since it can't be renewed (prob to Cisco Ironport).

What exactly do I need to do remove it completely?

Current set up:

Exchange 2010 behind Forefront TMG.

Forefront Protection for Exchange used to block spam and scan for viruses.

I believe there is a edge subscription between TMG and Exchange

Exchange transport role installed on TMG

I saw that article.

The thing is that the article doesn't mention anything about the integration with Forefront TMG and if the uninstall process changes at all because of it.

Hi,

when FPE is integrated into TMG you first should disable the E-Mail protection in TMG. After that FPE runs indepented and you can simply uninstall it like any other installation.
