DirectAccess 2012…the book!

  • [アーティクル]

As most of you probably heard, with the release of Windows Server 2012, DirectAccess is now tightly integrated into the server operating system. This is a significant development for this technology, which will make it much more available and affordable to many organizations. There are also some technical changes and improvements that will make it easier to deploy. The technology is also referred to as Unified Remote Access (URA).

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a new book covering this topic, and it will be finished and released in a few months. The book will be approximately 280 pages long, and covers topics such as:

  • Introduction to IPv6 and IPv4/IPv6 interoperability
  • Planning your deployment
  • Preparing a Group Policy infrastructure
  • Planning and configuring a certificate infrastructure
  • Planning and configuring client access
  • multi-site deployment
  • Enhanced configurations for infrastructure servers
  • NAP and OTP enhancements
  • Monitoring and Troubleshooting

As the book develops, I’ll post more news here, so check back often!

    Hi Don, I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to discuss the future of UAG. UAGs product team will release information about UAG's future version when they deem it appropriate. What I can say is that DirectAccess is one feature of UAG, and UAG has many other features that make it a worthy product to have. If you have purchased UAG for the sole purpose of DirectAccess, then moving to Windows Server with Unfied Remote Access is the logical next step for you. Almost all UAG customers use it for application publishing (with or without DirectAccss), so for such organizations, continuing to invest in it makes perfect sense, as it has no real competition in application publishing of Microsofts products.
