Problem booting Windows 8 from VHD file
If you have used the VHD method to install Windows 8 and placed this VHD file on your host OS, you might experience getting the following error when booting at some point:
VHD_BOOT_HOST_VOLUME_NOT_ENOUGH_SPACE
Reason/Resolution
The reason you get this, is because you are able to install Windows 8 into a dynamic VHD file (Thin Provioning), but Windows 8 still looks at how much space there are left on the host volume where you have placed the VHD file. So if you have made a 20 GB dynamic VHD file and only using 10 GB, but the host volume only have 8 GB left, then you will get this error.
So you must always make sure that you have as much space available on your host volume as the VHD file can grow.

I found this great video that explains how to publish ADFS though TMG:
!!!Remember as it also shows in the video, when creating the web listener and you are using a star(*) certificate like *.yourdomain.dk, that you type *.yourdomain.dk in the Internal site name.
