DirectAccess Resources

So I have been spending quite a significant amount of time working on DirectAccess and generally talking to people about DirectAccess, remote access and working remotely in generally over the past few months.

DirectAccess was a technology that I had wanted to work with for a significantly long period of time, the concept of an always on VPN like it has always interested me. I was extremely excited to be given the opportunity to work with it!

Not only did I get the opportunity to deploy DirectAccess in an enterprise environment, but I also had the chance to share my experience with the Brisbane Infrastructure Group.  My presentation can be found here.

So I thought why not provide you all with links to some of the resources that I used during my deployment of DirectAccess
