Abstract

There are two options for configuring DirectAccess using the Graphical User Interface (GUI). The first option is to use the Getting Started Wizard.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The Web Application Proxy (WAP) role can also be configured on the same server as DirectAccess. Although technically supported, it too should be avoided if possible. The same reasons why VPN should not be installed on the DirectAccess server also apply to WAP. Best practice is to install DirectAccess on a server dedicated to the WAP role.
