Direct Access lab settings with 2 servers
Hi! I try to get Direct Access R2 work with 2 servers (DC and APP1 are at one server) and (DA and INET1 are at other server), managed to get work Teredo and 6to4 but IP-HTTPS don't work C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface httpstunnel show interface Interface IPHTTPSInterface (Group Policy) Parameters ------------------------------------------------------------ Role : client URL : https://mydomain.com:443/IPHTTPS Last Error Code : 0x2afc Interface Status : failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server. Waiting to reconnect ** The above IPHTTPSInterface setting is the result of Group Policy overriding any local configuration. Same time DirecAccss server it's self showing like he is client not server; C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface httpstunnel show interface Interface IPHTTPSInterface (Group Policy) Parameters ------------------------------------------------------------ Role : client URL : https://mydomain.com:443/IPHTTPS Last Error Code : 0x0 Interface Status : IPHTTPS interface deactivated ** The above IPHTTPSInterface setting is the result of Group Policy overriding any local configuration. But here is one more question if Teredo and 6to4 are down, then should i see at first place https://mydomain.com:443/IPHTTPS, because all mydomains request are trying connect thru tunnels. Thanks, Marko

Hi Marko, I'm not recommend to use only 2 servers to test DA though you tested successful. Host behind web proxy server could use IP-HTTPS tunnel connect to DA server when teredo and 6to4 are down. The tunnel use the url https://DAserver.mydomain.com:443/IPHTTPS to establish the connection which defined in DA clients group policy. I give you these suggestions. 1.The host test IP-HTTPS need behind web proxy server NAT1. IP-HTTPS tunnel url need to point to DA server external IP. 2. According to DA step by step doc, the external IP-HTTPS URL point to https://edge1.contoso.com:443/IPHTTPS, not use the same internal dns name edge1.corp.contoso.com. Please ensure your test scenario is not use same dns mydomain.com to resolve DA internal and external.
