What’s new in Windows Server 2008 R2?

One common problem facing most organizations is remote connectivity for their mobile users. One of the most widely used solutions for connecting remote users is a virtual private network (VPN) connection. Depending on the type of VPN, users may need to install VPN client software on their mobile computer and then establish the VPN connection over the Internet. The DirectAccess feature in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 allows Windows 7 client computers to directly connect to intranet-based resources without the complexity of establishing a VPN connection. The user has the same connectivity experience both in and outside of the office. The following figure contrasts the current VPN-based solutions with the DirectAccess solution.

DirectAccess was designed as a seamless, always-on remote access solution that removes user complexity, gives you easy and efficient management and configuration tools, and does not compromise the secure aspects of remote connectivity.

NAP, built into Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, can be used with DirectAccess to verify that client computers meet your system health requirements, such as having security updates and anti-malware definitions installed, before allowing them to make a DirectAccess connection.
