Note: Be sure that the DirectAccess servers for the new entry point are configured prior to executing this step. The servers should be joined to the domain, have proper IPv4 addresses assigned for all network interfaces, all required certificates should be installed and the DirectAccess role should be installed.

To add an additional DirectAccess entry point, follow the steps below:

  1. In the Remote Access Management console, click Add an Entry Point under Multisite Deployment in the Tasks pane.
  2. Enter the name of the server that will be the first server in the new entry point and provide a unique name for this entry point.
  3. Enter the global load balancing IPv4 address for this entry point.
    Note: This is the public IPv4 address assigned to the DirectAccess Virtual Service on the LoadMaster for this entry point.
  4. Select the network topology that corresponds to your deployment.
  5. Enter the public hostname for the entry point.
    Note: This hostname should resolve to the public IPv4 address assigned to the DirectAccess Virtual Service on the LoadMaster for this entry point.
  6. Confirm the network and certificate settings.
  7. If Windows 7 client support is required, choose the option to Allow client computers running Windows 7 to access this entry point, click Add, and then choose a security group.
  8. Validate Group Policy Objects (GPOs).
  9. Review the changes and click Commit.
