Power Plans and Power-Saving Options
Power plan Description
Power Saver
This plan saves power on a mobile computer by reducing system performance. Its primary purpose is to maximize battery life.
High performance
This plan provides the highest level of performance on a mobile computer by adapting processor speed to your work or activity, and by maximizing system performance.
BalancedThis plan balances energy consumption and system performance by adapting the computer’s processor speed to your activity.

VPN Server
A VPN provides a point-to-point connection between components of a private network, through a public network such as the Internet
Tunneling Protocols for VPN Connections
Windows 8 supports four VPN tunneling protocols:
• PPTP
• L2TP/IPsec
• SSTP
• IKEv2
VPN Authentication
When selecting authentication, always choose the strongest and most secure form of authentication supported by all the components within your network infrastructureAvailable methods:• PAP• CHAP• MS-CHAPv2• EAP• Digital certificates
What Is VPN Reconnect?
The VPN Reconnect feature maintains connectivity across network outages
VPN Reconnect:• Provides seamless and consistent VPN connectivity • Uses the IKEv2 technology • Automatically reestablishes VPN connections when
connectivity is available• Maintains the connection if users move between
different networks• Makes the connection status transparent to users
Demonstration: Configuring a VPN
This demonstration shows how to configure VPN client settings
What Is the Connection Manager Administration Kit?
The Connection Manager Administration Kit:• Allows you to customize users’ remote connection
experience by creating predefined connections on remote servers and networks
• Creates an executable file that can be run on a client computer to establish a network connection that you have designed
• Reduces help desk requests related to the configuration of RAS connections
• Assists in problem resolution because the configuration is known
• Reduces the likelihood of user errors when they configure their own connection objects
Configuring and Distributing a Connection Profile
• The CMAK Connection Profile Wizard assists in the process of creating custom connection profiles for users
• Use the CMAK Connection Profile Wizard to configure:
• The target operating system• Support for VPN• Support for dial-up, including the custom phone
book• Proxy • Custom Help file• Custom support information
Demonstration: Creating a Connection Profile
This demonstration shows how to: • Install the CMAK feature• Create a connection profile• Examine the profile
Lab B: Implementing a Virtual Private Network Connection

Lab Scenario
Adam’s sales trip starts next week. He is keen to be able to access corporate data files while he is on the road. You decide to create a VPN on his laptop computer to facilitate this requirement.
Lab Review
•You created and test a VPN connection in the lab. When you are configuring the client-side of a VPN connection, what should factors do you need to consider?
Lesson 3: Configuring Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance
What Are Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance?
Configuring Remote Desktop•Demonstration: Configuring Remote Assistance
What Are Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance?
Remote Desktop Remote Assistance• A Windows 8 feature that enables users to connect to their desktop computer from another device
• Enables administrators to connect to multiple remote servers for administrative purposes
• A Windows 8 feature that enables support staff to connect to a remote desktop computer
• Optionally allows for remote control of that computer
• Enables the seeking or offering of assistance
Configuring Remote Desktop
Configuring Remote Desktop includes setting it up on the remote computer and the host
computer Host Computer• Launch the Remote Desktop
Connection• Choose Options to see the
Remote Desktop configuration settings
• On the General Tab, enter the remote computer’s name and your authentication credentials
• Save your Connection Settings
• Select preferences on the remaining tabs
Remote Computer• Open the System Window• Select Remote Settings• In the System Properties
Window confirm Allow Remote Assistance selected
• Under Remote Desktop select or add the users who can connect to this computer
Demonstration: Configuring Remote Assistance

Lab Scenario
Adam has a desktop computer in his office in London that he may wish to use while he travels around the UK between his customers.
Lab Review
In the lab, you enabled the Remote Desktop feature through the firewall by editing the local firewall settings. Is there an alternative way in which you can make this change?
In the lab, you configured Remote Desktop. In what circumstances can you envision using Remote Desktop to troubleshoot a user’s computer?• If attempting to connect to a remote computer with Remote Desktop from an Internet-connected computer, what other possible configuration changes might you need to make?
Lesson 4: Overview of DirectAccess
Discussion: Complexities of Managing VPNs
What Is DirectAccess?
Components of DirectAccess
What Is the Name Resolution Policy Table?
How DirectAccess Works for Internal Clients
How DirectAccess Works for External Clients•Configuring DirectAccess
Discussion: Complexities of Managing VPNs
What are the challenges you face when you implement VPNs?
What Is DirectAccess?
Features of DirectAccess:
• Connects automatically to corporate network over the public network
• Uses various protocols, including HTTPS, to establish IPv6 connectivity
• Supports selected server access and IPsec authentication• Supports end-to-end authentication and encryption• Supports management of remote client computers• Allows remote users to connect directly to intranet servers
DirectAccess enables seamless remote access to intranet resources without first establishing a VPN connection

External clients
NRPT/ Consec
Internal clients
What Is the Name Resolution Policy Table?
NRPT is a table that defines DNS servers for different namespaces and corresponding security settings. It is used before the adapter’s DNS settings.
Using NRPT:
• DNS servers can be defined for each DNS namespace rather than for each interface
• DNS queries for specific namespaces can be optionally secured by using IPsec
