Designing a Remote Access Server Solution

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

After choosing the remote access to deploy, begin the design process. The design for a remote access server solution encompasses hardware requirements, outsourcing options, placement of remote access servers on the network, routing for remote access clients, and a security plan. Before deploying your remote access server solution, optimize and test your design. Figure 8.5 shows the process for designing a remote access server solution.
