Changed IP of DirectAccess Server & clients can no longer connect

Question
-
Ok, Got a new ISP and have changed all the a records. I connected to the da server in house on my old isp, however all of my clients in a different office can no longer connect. I am thinking they need some information off the server to connect, but I am not sure what the problem is. Any help? ThanksWednesday, June 2, 2010 8:19 PM

Here is the actual solution. The clients needed to get their gp updated remotely with the new ip addresses. For anyone that does not have a way to vpn to the remote office these are the settings in the registry that need to be changed in order to get them to connect to your da that's ip address has changed.
netsh namespace show effectivepolicy
HKLM\software\policies\microsoft\Windows\TCPIP\V6Transition
HKLM\software\policies\microsoft\Windowsfirewall\consecrules
HKLM\software\policies\microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient\DnsPolicyConfig\ Should have policies with DA-GUID.

Hi,
Thank you for your post here.
What IPv6 transition protocol are configured on the client side? Is it Teredo or IP-HTTPS?
You may install the DirectAccess Connectivity Assistant and collect the DA diagnostic logs from the clients.
