Hi
I'm learning for MCTS 70-642 exam and I’m trying to be hands-on in Direct Access. I'm using 2008R2 and Win7 VMs on VmWare. I did deploy DirectAccess at least 10 times. At every trial, I struggled a lot for troubleshooting ; and it worked only couple of times.
I did use very good labs ; but, often, they are little bit long and confusing :
- http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24144
- The lab in the MS Press book "Self-Paced-Training-Exam-70-642-Infrastructure".
I'm tryning to find a quick and short lab for making work the most basic functionnalities of DirectAccess ; with, only, the following components :
- AD corporate domain with the following computers joined to it : DC1, DA-SERVER, WIN7-MEMBER-CLIENT, 2008R2-MEMBER-SERVER.
- NLS and AD CS are deployed on Domain Controller (DC1).
- Computer certificates are auto-enrolled on all computers.
- Web Server certificate is deployed on DC1 only (for NLS).
- 6to4 must be the only tunnelling protocol used on clients. Setting public Ipv4 addresses must automatically activate 6to4.
- IP-HTTPS certificates or settings are not configured.
- CRLs are note configured (for AD, it is not necessary).
QUESTIONS :
Could DirectAccess work with that limited infrastructure ?
Anybody could help me build that easy-quick-short lab in VMs ?
