Configuring DirectAccess GPOs for Servers and Computers

When configuring DirectAccess, two group policies were normally created so that servers and computers are automatically configured.

To open the Group Policy Management console on a domain controller or directly from the DirectAccess server, it has normally been installed. Check both strategies have been added to the root of the domain. If this is not the case as on the screenshot below, we will see how to add them.

GPO

Go to the Group Policy Objects 1 node and verify that the two 2 strategies for DirectAccess have been created.
