I run across this one regularly when setting up DirectAccess. There is a special tool that you can install onto your Windows 7 computers that tells you some information about the DirectAccess connection, but this tool needs to be configured by a GPO. The problem is that the settings for the tool don't exist inside Group Policy by default. So Microsoft includes in the tool's download files an ADMX and an ADML file, both of which need to be plugged into Group Policy. We have downloaded this tool, called the DirectAccess Connectivity Assistant, and I have the ADMX and ADML files now sitting on the hard drive of my domain controller. The work we need to accomplish will be right from this DC1 domain controller.
