Before configuring DirectAccess clients and GPOs in SP1

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.
