Just a little more involved - requires PKI. Implement the solution and test on Windows 8 first. Then add the Windows 7 piece.

Windows 7 is a little more involved and requires certificates for the second factor of authentication. I have a guide to implementing DirectAccess here. It's reasonably straightforward. http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Implement-Direct-Access-a7c085b1 Gerry From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kent, Mark Sent: 17 September 2014 20:56 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] OT: DirectAccess For those that use this, has it been a good/bad experience? Logistical nightmare? Is it a lot more involved to set up on Windows 7 clients as compared to Windows 8 clients? Appreciate any opinions, thanks!
