Implementing Remote Access Flashcards
What are the four techonologies that make up the Server Role called Remote Access?
- Virtual Private Network (VPN)
- DirectAccess
- Routing
- Web Application Proxy
What is DirectAccess?
DirectAccess enables remote users to securely access corperate resources without having to connect to a VPN. The user does not have to perform any actions DirectAccess automatically establishes a connection to the coperate network.
What is VPN?
VPN - Vrtual Private Network enables users who are working remotely to access a server on your organizations private network. It sends data over a dedicated private link.
What is Routing?
What are some protocols that is supports?
Windows Server 2012 can act as a router or network address translation device between two internal networks or between the internet and the interal network/
Routing Supports:
- Routing Information Protocol version 2
- Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Relay Agent
What is a Web Application Proxy?
- NEW for Windows Server 2012R2
It provides a reverse proxy for web applications located in an organizations internal network where users that are located on the internet can access internal web apps.
The Web Application Proxy preauthenticates uses by using ADFS (Ative Directory Federation Services) technology

- You can configure IPv6 settings, such as IPv6 routing with static routes and DHCP Relay Agent routing protocol.
- What is NAT?
- How do organizations set it up?
- What is NAT?
- Network Address Translation - It uses Private IPv4 addresses that are not routable on the internet and it talks to a router that has a public and private IPv4 address to talk out to the internet
- How do organizations set it up?
- They set up a router (server or physical router) that has at least two network adapeters. One Adapter has a private IPv4 address and is connected to the corporate network and the other network adapter is configured witha publick IPv4 address and is connected to the internet

What does the new Direct Access and VPN Wizard simlify?
The management of DirectAccess for small and medium size oreganizations be removing the need for full PKI deployement and removing the requirement for two separate netowrk interface cards that are connected to the internet and configured with two consecutive public IPv4 addresses.
What is considered a DirectAccess Client?
What is special about DirectAccess with off premise computers?
- A directAccess client can be any domain-joined computer running the Windows 8, Windows 7 (Enterprise or Ultimate).
- You can join the client computer to a domian without requiring the client computer to be located within your internal network
- What does a Network Location Server do for DirectAccess?
- How does the url for the NLS (Network Location Server) get distributed to client Computers?
- What does a Network Location Server do for DirectAccess?
- The directAccess client uses the network location server to determine its location. If the client computer can securely connect to the network location server using HTTPS, then the client computer assumes it is on the intranet.
- If it is uncontactable then it assumes it is on the internet.
- How does the url for the NLS (Network Location Server) get distributed to client Computers?
- It is distributed by using a GPO
What is the minimum Server functional level supported for DirectAccess?
- Windows Server 2003 Domain Functional Level
What are the DirectAccess Tunneling Protocol Options?
- ISATAP
- 6to4
- Teredo
- IP-HTTPS
*
If you need to support Windows 7 for a DirectAccess deployement what needs to be deployed?
PKI (Public Key Infastructure)
What are the two types of VPN connections avalible?
Please explain what each does?
- Remote Access
- used for users who are working offsite. They connect to a server that is routable on the public internet autheticate and have a connection between the organizations network and the computer.
- Site-to-Site (A.K.A - Router-to-Router VPN)
- Enables your organization to establish routed connections between separate offices or with other organizations over a public network while helping to maintain secure communications. A routed VPN connection across the Internet logically operates as a dedicated wide area network (WAN) link
What is the default VPN Tunneling protocol in Windows 7 and 8?
IKEv2
What are the system requirements for using VPN reconnect feature?
- Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008 R2 as a VPN server.
- Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 R2 client.
- PKI, because a computer certificate is required for a remote connection with VPN Reconnect. You can use certificates issued by either an internal or public CA.
What are the two types of VPN connections available in Windows Server 2012?
- Remote Access
- Site-to-Site
What are the different VPN Authentication Options?
- PAP
- CHAP
- MS-CHAPv2
- EAP
What is the following VPN Authentication Option?
PAP
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) uses plaintext passwords and is the least secure authentication protocol. PAP is included in Microsoft Windows Server 2012 to support older client operating systems that support no other authentication method.
What is the following VPN Authentication Option?
CHAP
The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a challenge-response authentication protocol that uses the industry-standard MD5 hashing scheme to encrypt the response. Because CHAP requires the use of a reversibly encrypted password, you should consider using another authentication protocol, such as MS-CHAPv2.
What is the following VPN Authentication Option?
MS-CHAPv2
MS-CHAPv2 is a one-way encrypted password, mutual-autehntication process
