I’ve discussed the concept of ‘Manage Out’ for Forefront UAG DirectAccess and also more recently for Windows Server 2012 DirectAccess; both of which can be a cause of pain when implementing and supporting a DirectAccess solution using either platform. One of my MCS colleagues in NYC, Colin Brown has written an excellent troubleshooting guide which provides a shining beacon of light in the darkness of ‘Where do I even start??!!’
Enjoy and great work Colin, I wish I had written it! :)
