Security Tip of the Month: IPv6 Security Considerations and Recommendations
IPv6 provides many benefits over Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). However, before deploying IPv6 you should be aware of additional security considerations. This article describes each of these security considerations in detail and provides Microsoft recommendations and best practices for mitigating the potential risks associated with IPv6 traffic. Find more helpful resources with the IPv6 Survival Guide.
DirectAccess Technical Drilldown, Part 1 of 2: IPv6 and Transition Technologies
Learn about IPv6 addressing, host configuration, and transitioning technologies including 6to4, Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP), Teredo, and IP over HTTPS (IPHTTPS). Through a series of demos, you will learn how to build an IPv6 network and interoperate with IPv4 networks and hosts. Unfamiliar with DirectAccess? Start with the technical overviews and test lab guides here.
DirectAccess Technical Drilldown, Part 2 of 2: Putting It All Together
Dive deep into IPSec and components that are only available with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to build the DirectAccess infrastructure. Learn how to control access to corporate resources and manage Internet connected PCs through group policy. (Note: Part 1 is highly recommended as a prerequisite for Part 2.)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Technical Reference
The DHCP is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard designed to reduce the administration burden and complexity of configuring hosts on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)-based network, such as a private intranet. Learn how to configure, deploy, and use DHCP in your environment—or get step-by-step guides to help you try out DHCP on Windows Server 2008 R2 in a test lab.
Using Certificates for IPsec Authentication
Learn how to use certificates to provide authentication for your IPsec connections. This demonstration modifies an authenticated and encrypted Telnet connection to use certificates for the authentication method instead of the Kerberos default.
Remote Access VPN Test Lab Extension: Adding IPv6 Connectivity
Learn how to configure IPv6 connectivity for the Corpnet subnet and for remote access VPN clients.
Netsh Technical Reference
Network shell (netsh) is a command-line utility that allows you to configure and display the status of various network communications server roles and components after they are installed on computers running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008. Also available as a download, this exhaustive reference includes information on Routing and Remote Access (RRAS), DHCP, IPv6, and much more.
