cpjitservices Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Hi all just looking at DA with Server 2016. Having not used/worked with it before can someone confirm whether this only works with Enterprise OS, we are typically running Windows Pro versions across the board - are we going to need to use Windows Enterprise versions? Thanks in advance
DJ-1701 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 For anything lower than Windows 10 as a client I am sure you do need Enterprise. Not sure about Windows 10, know it works for the Education version though. You might want to look at Always on VPN, as this appears to be a newer technology that is believed to be replacing DirectAccess. 1

I have seen always-on VPN in a few articles online, we do have IPSec VPN in place but anything easier for the client side is a bonus! I see words like HTML5 for RD thrown around too that looks interesting.
Geoff Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Your Windows 10 clients need to be at least v1607 to be able to use Always On VPN. 1

Geoff Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 v1703.. That's not what MS say. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-access/vpn/always-on-vpn/deploy/always-on-vpn-deploy-overview#windows-10-vpn-client In addition to the server components, ensure that the client computers you configure to use VPN are running Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607) or later.
GTX Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Found this, I was hoping you were right but. https://directaccess.richardhicks.com/2015/12/14/directaccess-and-windows-10-professional/ 1
markwilfan Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 Set this up last night using this guide https://4sysops.com/archives/always-on-vpn-directaccess-for-windows-10/ Really easy to do once you've done it once. Hoping this will give me the motivation to push my win 10 deployment onwards 1
