Windows Direct Access

I've been looking into this Server 2008 feature and have run the Microsoft labs which annoyingly (although understandably) consists of two documents, the first you find is as you would expect about DirectAccess test lab, the second you find by actually reading the first document.  This second document details how the server environment is actually configrued so effectively you need this second document first!

Anyways here's links to the documents in question.  Microsoft are now using a groovy name TLG, Test Lab Guide.  Cool :)

The config for the servers TLG Setup...

And the Lab Document, TLG Demo...

Annoyingly you do repeat a few things in both documents - like joining servers to domains etc...but if you follow each step things DO work!

So well worth the 2hrs or so effort to get things working.  I did everything on Hyper-V but would easily work on ESX or XEN.  Wouldn't advise doing this on physical due to time it would take to build the initial setup...
