HOTSPOT
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named adatum.com. The domain
contains a server named Server1.
Your company implements DirectAccess.
A user named User1 works at a customer’s office. The customer’s office contains a server named Server1.
When User1 attempts to connect to Server1, User1 connects to Server1 in adatum.com.
You need to provide User1 with the ability to connect to Server1 in the customer’s office.
Which Group Policy option should you configure?
To answer, select the appropriate option in the answer area.
Explanation:
Specifies whether the user has Connect and Disconnect options for the DirectAccess entry
when the user clicks the Networking notification area icon.
If the user clicks the Disconnect option, NCA removes the DirectAccess rules from the Name
Resolution Policy Table (NRPT) and the DirectAccess client computer uses whatever normal
name resolution is available to the client computer in its current network configuration,
including sending all DNS queries to the local intranet or Internet DNS servers. Note that
NCA does not remove the existing IPsec tunnels and users can still access intranet
resources across the DirectAccess server by specifying IPv6 addresses rather than names.
The ability to disconnect allows users to specify single-label, unqualified names (such as
“PRINTSVR”) for local resources when connected to a different intranet and for temporary
access to intranet resources when network location detection has not correctly determined
that the DirectAccess client computer is connected to its own intranet.
To restore the DirectAccess rules to the NRPT and resume normal DirectAccess
functionality, the user clicks Connect.
Note
If the DirectAccess client computer is on the intranet and has correctly determined its
network location, the Disconnect option has no effect because the rules for DirectAccess are
already removed from the NRPT.
If this setting is not configured, users do not have Connect or Disconnect options.
prefer local names allowed
DCA is set to prefer local names. To access corporate resources, you must disable the Prefer local DNS names option. This can be done by selecting the option in the DCA menu, or by restarting the computer.
Prefer Local Names Allowed—allows users to disconnect from NRPT rules and use normal, local DNS to resolve names and connect to local resources.
