  1. I recommend using Direct Access for your laptop. Windows 2008R2 includes all features needed to deploy. I have included a link to a deployment guide from Microsoft that should help you along.

    We covered Direct Access with Windows 2008R2 in my MCITP boot camp and it sounds like that would be the best setup for you from your posts. If you want additional information, I recommend CED Solutions out of Atlanta/Marietta Ga for training. Instructors are very informative and well-versed in all aspects of the latest Microsoft OS. Great facility, Great people!

    The router is at home. It`s my own network I want to connect to from an internet location. I rent an apartment with a shared internet connection through the router. It`s this router I need to "get through" to get to my server.

    I am pretty sure the router has the ability to set up IPsec and PPTP as protocols for VPN, since they both has an enabled \ disabled option in the Web GUI.

    The laptop I want to use has W7, while the server I want to connect to is W2K8R2, which also works as a DC for my network.

    My problems:

    The roles and key configuration I need on W2K8R2 to allow for other computers to connect (preferably with the ability to log on with an account in AD), and some general guidelines about the router setup. :)

  2. First question would be, why use the answer file? Just curious....really not needed unless you are setting up a multi-dc install or something along those lines....

    Hi!

    I'm currently installing a 2008 server from scratch, and a first timer as well. The thing is that the answer file confuses me to no end. There is this article on microsoft.com that "explain" the answer file, but it don't help me at all.

    Could anyone explain with a small example and three or four words on each? Ex:

    NewDomain=forest, would be msfn.org but if it was a child it would look like unattended.msfn.org (just typing unattended though)

    Thanks in advance!

    (Copy from the above-mentioned page):

    For new forest installations, the following options apply:

    [DCINSTALL]

    InstallDNS=yes

    NewDomain=forest

    NewDomainDNSName=<The fully qualified Domain Name System (DNS) name>

    DomainNetBiosName=<By default, the first label of the fully qualified DNS name>

    SiteName=<Default-First-Site-Name>

    ReplicaOrNewDomain=domain

    ForestLevel=<The forest functional level number>

    DomainLevel=<The domain functional level number>

    DatabasePath="<The path of a folder on a local volume>"

    LogPath="<The path of a folder on a local volume>"

    RebootOnCompletion=yes

    SYSVOLPath="<The path of a folder on a local volume>"

    SafeModeAdminPassword=<The password for an offline administrator account>
