Explanation:
DirectAccess, introduced in the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems, allows remote
users to securely access enterprise shares, web sites, and applications without connecting to a virtual private
network (VPN). DirectAccess establishes bi-directional connectivity with a user’s enterprise network every time
a users DirectAccess-enabled portable computer connects to the Internet, even before the user logs on. Users
never have to think about connecting to the enterprise network and IT administrators can manage remote
computers outside the office, even when the computers are not connected to the VPN. Forefront Unified
Access Gateway (UAG) 2010 extends the benefits of DirectAccess across your infrastructure, enhancing
scalability and simplifying deployment and ongoing management.
