Symptoms
You enable and configure the Email Policy feature for Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) 2010. When the Forefront TMG Managed Control service tries to start, the service cannot start, and the following error is logged in the TMG log file:
Cause
This problem occurs when the Sender Reputation feature for Exchange Edge is enabled in the TMG Management console. To locate the Sender Reputation feature, click Email Policy, and then click the Spam filtering tab.
