Add a Demand-Dial Interface

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Demand-dial interfaces connect routers on either public or private networks. A demand-dial interface can be either on-demand (activated only when needed) or persistent (always connected) and initiate one-way or two-way connections.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
