About This Guide
The Infrastructure Planning and Design guide for DirectAccess provides actionable guidance for designing a DirectAccess infrastructure. The guide’s easy-to-follow, four-step process gives a straightforward explanation of the infrastructure required for clients to be connected from the Internet to resources on the corporate network, whether or not the organization has begun deploying IPv6.

The guide covers four key steps in the design process for DirectAccess:
- Aligning the project scope with the business requirements.
- Determining whether IPv6, Teredo, 6to4, and IP-HTTPS connectivity will be supported for Internet-based clients.
- Assessing the need for an IPv6/IPv4 translator (such as NAT64) and ISATAP for internal communication.
- Determining the number and placement of servers, the certificate services requirements, and location of CRL distribution points.
