Before configuring DirectAccess clients and GPOs in SP1

Updated: February 1, 2011

Applies To: Unified Access Gateway

The following should be done before configuring the DirectAccess client section of the Forefront UAG DirectAccess Configuration Wizard:

Wizard Page	Before you run the Client Configuration section of the Wizard
Deployment model	Decide whether to give DirectAccess clients access to the full intranet, or to the management servers only.
Client Domain	Prepare a list of all client domains that contain client computers that will be enabled for DirectAccess.
Policy Management	If you are using pre-created GPOs, ensure that they have been created by your administrator and that you have the correct permission to read and modify them.
Client Groups Note If pre-configured GPOs are selected in the Policy Management page, this page does not appear in the wizard.	Create organizational units (OUs) or security groups containing DirectAccess clients.
