Hi all, I'm in the middle of an interesting issue here, and this is more of a question about getting things working rather than accessibility. I'm pretty sure advice is allowed? Anyway, I've got two sites, one in Somerville, and the other in Wilmington, Mass. All of our servers run Windows Server 2012 R2 for the moment, while one of the RRAS servers, the one here in Wilmington may run Windows server 10 eventually. The issue is as follows: I need to connect the two sites together so that members of the one site can securely access resources in the other site and have it be transparent to them. I want both sites to appear to VPN clients as a single site, and I know that RRAS can do this. Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't want to use Direct Access because servers, especially my domain controller, has to be connected to the VPN for replication purposes. Not to mention, there are file server resources here, and I want the members of the Somerville site to be able to access them; I cannot forward out port 445, Comcast blocks it, though SMB over the internet's asking for trouble anyway. So, if anyone has any experience with this, if they've ever gotten it working (too many people make fun of me, rather than trying to help me, since we can't use hardware VPN, can't afford it), that would be great.
Katherine, I have some experience with RRAS but sorry. I cant help with this. However, if you come across any particular problems please send them up here. I might have come across them. Not as helpful as you would have liked. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Katherine Moss Sent: 04 November 2014 05:57 To: 'blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org' Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] RRAS: Windows Server 2012 R2/Windows Server 10 Hi all, I'm in the middle of an interesting issue here, and this is more of a question about getting things working rather than accessibility.
