Configuring Microsoft Always On VPN involves several steps, including setting up the server infrastructure, configuring client devices, and creating policies. Here is a high-level overview of the configuration process:
- Prepare the infrastructure: Before you can set up Always On VPN, you need to make sure that your infrastructure is prepared. This includes setting up the necessary servers, such as the Network Policy Server (NPS), Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS), and Remote Access server.
- Configure server certificates: Always On VPN requires that the server have a valid SSL certificate. You will need to install a certificate on the Remote Access server and configure the NPS server with a certificate.
- Create user accounts and groups: You will need to create user accounts and groups in Active Directory to enable users to connect to the VPN. You can use group policy to configure client devices to connect to the VPN.
- Configure client devices: You can configure client devices to connect to the VPN using group policy or by manually configuring the VPN connection on each device. You will need to provide the connection details, including the VPN server name, connection type, and authentication method.
- Create connection profiles: You can create connection profiles to specify the settings for each VPN connection, such as the authentication method, encryption settings, and connection type.
- Configure policies: You can create policies to specify the conditions under which users can connect to the VPN, such as the time of day or the type of device being used.
These are the basic steps involved in configuring Microsoft Always On VPN. However, the exact configuration process may vary depending on your specific requirements and infrastructure. It is recommended to follow the detailed documentation provided by Microsoft when setting up Always On VPN.
