Forcepoint URL Filtering, v8.5.x
You can convert an existing standalone deployment of Forcepoint URL Filtering to one that is integrated with TMG, without losing any configuration settings. The conversion process preserves such settings as policies, port numbers, and IP addresses.
1.
Use the Backup Utility to back up the web protection configuration and initialization files. See the Backup and Restore FAQ for instructions.
2.
Upgrade your web protection software to the current version.
After installing, it is a good idea to run the Backup Utility again to have a baseline for your upgraded software.
3.
Make sure your web protection software is running. The uninstaller looks for Policy Server during the removal process.
 
* 
Warning 
Do not remove components when the associated Policy Server is stopped. If Policy Server is not running, files for the selected components are removed, but configuration information is not updated. Problems could occur later if you attempt to reinstall these components.
4.
Uninstall Filtering Service.
See Removing web protection components for instructions. Be sure to remove only Filtering Service.
5.
