What To Do When Windows Server 2012 DirectAccess Stops Working

From the article:

“I’m seeing lots of cases were a Direct Access proof of concept has been set up and it works really well for a while with both Windows 8 and Windows 7 (Server 2012 for the DA server – don’t waste your time with 2008 R2).

The problem is that all of a sudden the Windows 7 test clients stop working. I do it all the time in my lab as well, mostly because i only need it to work for a while so i forget an important step for ongoing Win7 connections. Its really frustrating when you come back to a lab that is saved and its broken, especially when you are trying to show someone how awesome Direct Access is…”

The problem is most likely due to CRL checking.
