Configuring Remote Access Services
in Windows Server 2008
• Dial-up networking
– Connects remote users using a phone line
• Virtual Private Networks
– Allow client connections to your network from remote
locations
– Works by creating a secure tunnel for transmitting data
packets between two points
– VPN tunneling protocols:
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (Easiest)
• Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (Require Certificate)
• Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (Only support 2008 or
newer client)

VPN Remote Access
•
•
•
•
Uses Internet to transmit private information
Encryption is used
Windows Server 2008 uses RRAS as a VPN server
Remote computers are configured as VPN clients

Implement a VPN through a NAT Server
6
Enable and Configure a VPN Server
Enabling packet filters should only be chosen
if the server has multiple network cards with
the filtered card connected to the Internet and
the unfiltered cards connected to VPN traffic
7
VPN Protocols
• PPTP is the most popular and can function through NAT
• L2TP requires IPSec to function
• By default, 128 PPTP ports and 128 L2TP ports available
– Can increase the number of ports or
– Disable a protocol by setting the number of ports to zero
• SSTP: New in 2008. Only for Client-Site, not for Site-Site
– PPP or L2TP over SSL

Authentication Protocols
10
Configuring Remote Access Servers
• Control authentication and logging. Server and Client must
support common protocol to authenticate and connect
–
–
–
–
–
–
No Authentication
Password Authenticated Protocol
Shiva Password Authentication Protocol
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
version 2
– Extensible Authentication Protocol
• Specify whether or not the server is a router for IP, and if it
allows IP-based remote access connections
11
• Enable broadcast name resolution
Allowing Client Access
• By default, none of the users are
granted remote access
permission
• Remote access permission is
controlled by their user object
– If RRAS does not participate in
Active Directory, the user object
is stored in the local user
account database
– If RRAS belongs to an Active
Directory domain, the user
object is stored in the Active
Directory database located on
the domain controller
12
Network Access Policies
• Control who is allowed to access remotely
• Depends on the domain’s functional level (mixed,
2000 native or 2003 native or 2008)
• Depend on the machine user is connecting to
• Composed of Conditions, Constraints, and Settings
– Conditions are criteria that must be met in order for
remote access policy to apply to a connection
– Allow if met constraints and Deny if not
– After conditions and constrains are met, settings are
applied to the connection

Creating a VPN Client Connection
• Configure VPN clients on client machines, e.g. Win XP
• Windows Server 2008 can be configured as a VPN client
• Create VPN connections using the “New Connection”
Wizard in XP or earlier and “Set up a connection or
network” wizard in Vista and 2008

–
Specify IP address (or FQDN) of VPN server
Configure whether or not an initial connection is created
Configure dialing and redialing options
Specify if password and data encryption are required
Configure the network configuration for VPN connection
Configure an Internet connection firewall and Internet
connection sharing
15
Routing and Remote Access and DHCP
• Provide remote access clients with IP addresses
during a dial-up connection.
– Server Assigned IP Address option.
• Routing and Remote Access uses DHCP to lease
addresses.
• DHCP leases are released when Routing and Remote
Access is shut down.
• Number of leased addresses can be configured.
16
Troubleshooting Remote Access
• Software configuration errors by users or administrators
–
–
–
–
–
Incorrect phone numbers and IP addresses
Incorrect authentication settings
Incorrectly configured network access policies
Name resolution is not configured
Clients receive incorrect IP options
• Best troubleshooting tools include:
–
–
–
–
Log files (System log)
Error messages
Network Monitor
Ipconfig and Ping command line tools
• Hardware errors can also cause problems
17
Hardware Errors
• Common hardware troubleshooting tips:
– Ensure hardware is on the Microsoft hardware
compatibility list
– Use ping to determine if the address is reachable
– See if you can dial in to a different remote access
server
– Ensure there is a link light on the network card
18
Resource Kit Utilities
• RASLIST.EXE
• RASSRVMON.EXE: Monitor Remote Access
– Provides: Server, Port, Summary, and Individual
Connection information
– Alerting set up to run program of choice
• RASUSERS.EXE
• TRACEENABLE.EXE
19
Introduction to Network Policy Server
• Network Policy Server (NPS)
– Role service that provides a framework for creating
and enforcing network access policies for client
health
– Can be used to perform:
• Configure a RADIUS server
• Configure a RADIUS proxy
• Configure and implement Network Access Protection
(NAP)
20
Introduction to RADIUS
• RADIUS
– Industry-standard protocol that provides centralized
authentication, authorization, and accounting for network
access devices
• Components of RADIUS

RADIUS clients VPN server
Network access servers
RADIUS proxy
RADIUS server Perform authentication & authorization
User account database
