Remote Access
Remote Access is a network service in Windows Server 2012 that combines the DirectAccess feature, introduced in Windows Server 2008 R2, and the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS), into a new unified server role. In Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 Server, RRAS provided the following services:
- Dial-up remote access server
- Virtual private network (VPN) remote access server
- Internet Protocol (IP) router for connecting subnets of a private network
- Network address translator (NAT) for connecting a private network to the Internet
- Dial-up and VPN site-to-site demand-dial router
The Windows Server 2012 Remote Access server role that combines DirectAccess and RRAS allows for centralized administration, configuration, and monitoring of DirectAccess, Routing, and VPN-based remote access services.
