&lt;br /&gt;
With DirectAccess, remote users can access corporate file shares, Web sites, and applications without connecting to a virtual private network (&lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb545442.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;VPN&lt;/a&gt;), as shown in &lt;a href="http://edge.technet.com/Media/Windows-7-DirectAccess-User-Experience/id="&gt;Windows 7 DirectAccess User Experience&lt;/a&gt;. Further, DirectAccess &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637769(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;separates intranet traffic from Internet traffic&lt;/a&gt;, as shown on the left, and reduces unnecessary traffic on the corporate network. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;DirectAccess requirements include&lt;/b&gt;:
&lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;DirectAccess Server: This is a Windows Server 2008 R2 server with the server feature, DirectAccess Management Console, added. A DirectAccess server must be joined to an Active Directory® domain and cannot be behind a &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739385(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Network Address Translation, or NAT&lt;/a&gt;, device. In addition, a DirectAccess server must have two network adapters: one connected to the Intranet, and the other to the Internet with at least two, consecutive, public, IPv4 addresses. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;DirectAccess Client: Windows 7 is the supported client OS. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;At least one domain controller and &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753143(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Domain Name System (DNS)&lt;/a&gt; server is Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;A &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2009.05.pki.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Public Key Infrastructure&lt;/a&gt; (PKI) for issuing computer certificates, smart card certificates, and, for Network Access Protection (NAP), health certificates &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=50170" target="_blank"&gt;IPsec&lt;/a&gt; policies to specify protection for traffic &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AFE56282-2903-40F3-A5BA-A87BF92C096D&amp;amp;displaylang=en" target="_blank"&gt;IPv6 transition technologies&lt;/a&gt;, i.e. &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B8F50E07-17BF-4B5C-A1F9-5A09E2AF698B&amp;amp;displaylang=en" target="_blank"&gt;ISATAP&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4214.txt" target="_blank"&gt;RFC 4214&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457011.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Teredo&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4380.txt" target="_blank"&gt;RFC 4380&lt;/a&gt;), and &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc756770(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;6to4&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3056.txt" target="_blank"&gt;RFC 3056&lt;/a&gt;), for DirectAccess server &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Optionally, a non-Microsoft NAT-PT (&lt;a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2766.txt" target="_blank"&gt;RFC 2766&lt;/a&gt;) device to provide access to IPv4-only resources for DirectAccess clients   &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here’s how DirectAccess works&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;A DirectAccess client computer boots and detects a network connection. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The DirectAccess client computer attempts to connect to an intranet-only web site specified in DirectAccess configuration. If the web site is available, the DirectAccess client determines that it is connected to the intranet, and the DirectAccess connection process stops. The effective DNS Name Resolution Policy revealed by the command, &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624058(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;netsh name show effectivepolicy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, should indicate DirectAccess is turned off, if the client is in the intranet. On the other hand, if the Web site is not available, the DirectAccess client determines that it is connected to the Internet and the DirectAccess connection process continues. The DirectAccess client computer connects to the DirectAccess server using IPv6 and IPsec. If a native IPv6 network isn’t available, the client establishes an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel using 6to4 or Teredo. If a firewall or proxy server prevents the client computer using 6to4 or Teredo from connecting to the DirectAccess server, the client automatically attempts to connect using the &lt;a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/E/95EF66AF-9026-4BB0-A41D-A4F81802D92C/%5BMS-IPHTTPS%5D.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;IP-HTTPS&lt;/a&gt; protocol, which uses a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to ensure connectivity as shown below.
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637795(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img width="476" height="236" title="image" alt="image" src="http://blogs.technet.com/blogfiles/yungchou/WindowsLiveWriter/YetAnotherWindows7DirectAccessScreencast_A3CB/image_5.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;As part of establishing the IPsec session, the DirectAccess client and server authenticate each other using computer certificates for authentication. Two types of IPsec protection: &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637767(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;end-to-end and end-to-edge&lt;/a&gt; are available for a DirectAccess client to connect to intranet resources. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;By validating Active Directory® group memberships, the DirectAccess server verifies that the computer is authorized to connect with DirectAccess. To mitigate the risk of denial of service (&lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Glossary.aspx#d" target="_blank"&gt;DoS&lt;/a&gt;) attacks, IPsec on the DirectAccess server de-prioritizes key negotiation traffic using &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd380059(WS.10).aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Differentiated Services Code Points (DSCPs)&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;If &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb545879.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Network Access Protection (NAP)&lt;/a&gt; is enabled and configured for health validation, the DirectAccess client obtains a health certificate from a &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731872.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Health Registration Authority (HRA)&lt;/a&gt;, located on the Internet, prior to connecting to the DirectAccess server. The HRA forwards the DirectAccess client’s health status information to a NAP health policy server. The NAP health policy server processes the policies defined within the Network Policy Server (NPS) and determines whether the client is compliant with system health requirements. If so, the HRA obtains a health certificate for the DirectAccess client. When the DirectAccess client connects to the DirectAccess server, it submits its health certificate for authentication. &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;The DirectAccess server begins forwarding traffic from the DirectAccess client to the intranet resources to which the user has been granted access. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Notice the DirectAccess connection process happens automatically once a DirectAccess client boots up without requiring a user to log on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://edge.technet.com/12663/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" /&gt;</description><comments>http://edge.technet.com/Media/Windows-7-DirectAccess-Explained/</comments><link>http://edge.technet.com/Media/Windows-7-DirectAccess-Explained/</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:01:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://edge.technet.com/Media/Windows-7-DirectAccess-Explained/</guid><evnet:views>3916</evnet:views><evnet:viewtrackingurl>http://edge.technet.com/12663/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0</evnet:viewtrackingurl><evnet:previewtext>The Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2 operating systems introduce DirectAccess, a new solution that provides users with the same experience working remotely as they would have when working in the office.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The IIS SEO Toolkit helps Web developers, hosting providers, and Web server administrators to improve their Web site’s relevance in search results by recommending how to make the site content more search engine-friendly. The IIS SEO Toolkit helps to improve the volume and quality of traffic to your Web site from search engines, control how search engines access and display Web content, and inform search engines about locations that are available for indexing. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;IIS URL Rewriter 2.0 adds support for outbound response rewriting and enables Web administrators to create powerful rules to implement URLs that are easier for users to remember and easier for search engines to find. IIS URL Rewriter 2.0 helps to easily define rules that match URLs or HTTP headers to generate more friendly and consistent URLs, protect content and assets from unauthorized linking and scanning, and integrate with existing IIS features to improve management, performance, and troubleshooting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Windows PowerShell is a Windows command-line shell designed for ease-of-use not only by system administrators but also for application and system developers.  The shell includes an interactive prompt and a scripting environment that can be used independently or in combination.  PowerShell V2 is available by default with both &lt;b&gt;R2&lt;/b&gt; and Windows 7 and, via an optional update, previous versions of Windows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unlike most scripting shells, which accept and return text, Windows PowerShell is integrated with the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) and the .NET Framework, and thus deals in .NET objects instead of just text strings.  This fundamental change in the environment brings entirely new tools and methods to the management and configuration of Windows.   Application Developers may extend their solutions with custom PowerShell based object models that integrate seamlessly with platform management solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like many shells, Windows PowerShell gives you access to the file system on the computer.  In addition, Windows PowerShell providers enable you to access other data stores, such as the registry and the digital signature certificate stores, as easily as you access the file system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Version 2 of Windows Powershell introduces an array of new features including remote sessions, an integrated script environment, debugging tools, and much more.  &lt;br /&gt;

The answer to this is to use some form of “early warning system”, something that monitors what’s going on and lets you know when conditions you deem critical occur. So what “early warning systems” are there and when do you use them? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The one thing Microsoft Servers and the applications that run on them do well is that they expose a significant amount of information through event logs and performance logs. This is a double edged sword, while the information is detailed; it’s also isolated to that particular server. To get a full picture of what is going on across all your servers you have to be able to analyse all this information. So a basic “early warning system” can use this built in-functionality for Windows Server 2008 and above (this also includes Windows Vista and Windows 7 and while strictly not Data Center products it could be useful to know). The Event viewer in Windows Server 2008 has the ability to &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748900(WS.10).aspx"&gt;run a task when a specific event occurs&lt;/a&gt;, this task could be a script that addresses the event or informs you about the event. This is a simple solution for a small number of servers, and I do mean small number. Remember if you decide to change the task later, you have to modify every server it’s on. The next step up is to use the same task idea, but have it run on one machine only. What makes this machine special is that it is the target in an &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749183(WS.10).aspx"&gt;Event Subscription&lt;/a&gt; setup. Here, all the servers can be configured to send events to one machine; this machine in turn can monitor the events and alert you when specific events occur. This is a little more centralized than running tasks on each server. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The above is not really a system management solution; the purpose of the information is to highlight the basics of a system management solution. True solutions, like I’ll come onto next, process the information in the event logs and in performance counters in a way that makes it easy to digest from the outset and they also apply “knowledge” to issues to correct them for you. The “early warning system” should deliver a view of your servers and clients in one console and allow you to correct issues with a few clicks. So let’s look at the two System Center solutions you can use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://edge.technet.com/Media/Intro-to-System-Center-Essentials/"&gt;If your data center is up to around 30 servers&lt;/a&gt; – physical and/or virtual – you can use &lt;a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83037"&gt;System Center Essentials 2007&lt;/a&gt;. Essentials 2007 is a &lt;a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?culture=en-US&amp;amp;EventID=1032335654&amp;amp;EventCategory=3"&gt;mid-sized organization solution&lt;/a&gt;; it can work in a single Domain environment or a workgroup environment. It provides a single console view that allows you to manage your &lt;a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=82233"&gt;Windows-based servers, Windows-based clients, applications, services and SNMP-capable network devices&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What if your Data Center is beyond 30 servers? If you are then there is no reason you should expect a less experience than Essentials 2007 provides. You have much the same requirements as a mid-size organization, just bigger. For a job this big, then you need Essentials 2007’s bigger brother, &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/detail/webcastdetails.aspx?seriesid=37&amp;amp;webcastid=5557"&gt;System Center Operations Manager 2007 R2&lt;/a&gt;. There are a lot of features that both Essentials 2007 and SCOM 2007 R2 share to deliver a management experience and &lt;a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/1/D/B1D2450B-FF55-46BF-9E54-49FF984C89BD/SC_OpsMgr2007_R2-IntroductionWP.pdf"&gt;cost saving&lt;/a&gt; experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In both products you have a single console that is designed to deliver information clearly and quickly. When there is a problem, the console clearly identifies the issue and can suggest remediation actions. The way the system decides what actions can be take is based on information that is contained in &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc974491.aspx"&gt;Management Packs.&lt;/a&gt; These “packs” contain monitoring settings for applications and services. Once imported, Operations Manager or Essentials 2007 immediately begin to monitor objects based on default configurations and thresholds that are set in the management pack. What makes these powerful are the parts contained within the pack, for example, Packs can contain Tasks, which define activities that can be executed by either the agent or the console. (As a side note, there are &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/opsmgr/cc539535.aspx"&gt;over 50 management packs&lt;/a&gt; for various Microsoft products.) &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Operations Manager 2007 R2 also allows you to &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=1d9d709f-9628-46a8-952b-a78f5dd2bdd9&amp;amp;displaylang=en"&gt;track service levels&lt;/a&gt;, which is becoming increasingly important for IT Operations as they are pressured to provide the services they are providing are available and performing. This also leads to a need for reports; you can &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/detail/webcastdetails.aspx?seriesid=37&amp;amp;webcastid=5559"&gt;create custom reports&lt;/a&gt; with Operations Manager 2007 R2 to meet whatever reporting requirement you may need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Operations Manager 2007 R2 is a power tool, some thought should be given into how exactly to deploy it. To help there is a Solution Accelerator called the &lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee354213.aspx"&gt;Infrastructure Planning and Deployment (IPD) Guide&lt;/a&gt;, if the guide seems a bit much to start with, the is also a &lt;a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?culture=en-US&amp;amp;EventID=1032409727&amp;amp;CountryCode=US"&gt;Deployment Webcast&lt;/a&gt; that can provide some useful insights into what worked, as well as what didn't, when deploying Operations Manager 2007 into different environments. Likewise if you are under the 30 server limit that allows you to use Essentials 2007, there is a &lt;a href="http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032339489&amp;amp;culture=en-US"&gt;Deployment Webcast&lt;/a&gt; that will walk you through the processes for deploying Essentials 2007 in different network environments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the next post I’ll cover how to specifically manage Hyper-V and your virtual machine infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://edge.technet.com/12543/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" /&gt;</description><comments>http://edge.technet.com/Media/Managing-your-Microsoft-World-Tech-Focus-November-2009-Part-1/</comments><link>http://edge.technet.com/Media/Managing-your-Microsoft-World-Tech-Focus-November-2009-Part-1/</link><pubDate>Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:24:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://edge.technet.com/Media/Managing-your-Microsoft-World-Tech-Focus-November-2009-Part-1/</guid><evnet:views>6571</evnet:views><evnet:viewtrackingurl>http://edge.technet.com/12543/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0</evnet:viewtrackingurl><evnet:previewtext>&lt;p&gt;The old adage “A watched pot never boils” could be applied to your servers. “A watched server never goes wrong”, that server always decides to doing something right before those critical moments, just as you are leaving for the day, just before the game starts, just as your food arrives, it never does it when you have the console open on the server. The answer to this is to use some form of “early warning system”, something that monitors what’s going on and lets you know when conditions you deem critical occur. So what “early warning systems” are there and when do you use them? &lt;/p&gt;</evnet:previewtext><dc:creator>Alan Le Marquand</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss>http://edge.technet.com/Media/Managing-your-Microsoft-World-Tech-Focus-November-2009-Part-1/RSS/</wfw:commentRss><trackback:ping>http://edge.technet.com/12543/Trackback.aspx</trackback:ping><category>Hyper-V</category><category>System Center Configuration Manager</category><category>system center essentials 2010</category></item><item><title>Automating Windows 7 Deployment with SCCM 2007 R2 SP2 (Part 4 of 5)</title><description>&lt;img src="http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/edge/0/4/4/2/1/CLI312Demo4_85_edge.png" border="0" /&gt;This is part 4 of a 5 part series of screencasts, which were the demos from the TechNet Webcast: "Automating Windows 7 Deployments using System Center Configuration Manager 2007 R2 SP2" delivered November 11, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;

Part 5: Deploying Windows 7 to Existing Windows Clients&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the "grand finale" of this series, we add the USMT (User State Migration Tool) package to SCCM 2007, and include it in a new task sequence for the sake of upgrading existing Windows clients from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7.  We then perform the upgrade of an existing Windows XP system, while retaining user files and settings.&lt;br /&gt;

Stephen Elop closed out day 1 of TechEd Europe with the announcement of General Availability of Exchange 2010.  In the keynote, he talked about some of the new features in 2010, like the new protection and management capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;
He also talked about Cloud Computing, and how we're putting the choice in the hands of IT Pros - you can decide which parts, and how much of your environment you want to move to the cloud.&lt;br /&gt;
The Windows Server team also showed off some of the stuff they're doing around management and provisioning - really good stuff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://edge.technet.com/12435/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0" height="1" width="1" alt="" /&gt;</description><comments>http://edge.technet.com/Media/TechEd-Europe-09-Keynote-Recap/</comments><link>http://edge.technet.com/Media/TechEd-Europe-09-Keynote-Recap/</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:31:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/edge/5/3/4/2/1/key1_2MB_edge.wmv</guid><evnet:views>6956</evnet:views><evnet:viewtrackingurl>http://edge.technet.com/12435/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0</evnet:viewtrackingurl><evnet:previewtext>I followed Crystal and Joey with my camera yesterday, and in this video they share their thoughts on the day 1 keynote.
