Resolution

TMG 2010 does not support removing the BUILT IN\Administrators group from the TMG Enterprise Administrators group. To resolve this problem, add the BUILT IN\Administrators group back to the TMG Enterprise Administrators role.

To block removal of the BUILT IN\Administrators group, install Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway 2010 Service Pack 2. This service pack blocks removal of the BUILT IN\Administrators group from the TMG Enterprise Administrators role:
