Deploying a VPN Remote Access Server Solution

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

Deploying a remote access server solution involves configuring the server as a VPN remote access server; configuring routing on the VPN server and the VPN clients; and implementing security — installing any certificates required for the authentication of remote clients, configuring encryption in requirements the remote access policy for VPN connections, and optionally configuring remote access account lockout. Figure 8.7 shows the process for deploying a VPN remote access server solution.

Important

• The procedures for deploying a VPN remote access server solution assume that you have deployed Active Directory on the server, have a PKI in place, and have deployed an IAS server.

• For information about designing and deploying a PKI, see "Designing a Public Key Infrastructure" in Designing and Deploying Directory and Security Services of this kit. For information about designing and deploying IAS, see "Deploying Internet Authentication Service (IAS)" in this book. For more information about Active Directory, see "Designing the Active Directory Logical Structure" in Designing and Deploying Directory and Security Services of this kit.
