Hello, and welcome again to Pluralsight.

2
00:00:04,010 --> 00:00:06,740
This is Implementing Microsoft Always On VPN.

3
00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:08,860
And in this module,

4
00:00:08,860 --> 00:00:15,540
we're going to move on to provisioning our Always On VPN clients.

5
00:00:15,540 --> 00:00:20,860
So at this point, we're ready to begin pushing out the client configuration.

6
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:25,470
But before we do that, we need to do a couple of rather crucial things here.

7
00:00:25,470 --> 00:00:28,120
First, we need to perform some validation testing.

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,620
So we've built out the VP and infrastructure,

9
00:00:30,620 --> 00:00:34,640
we have the NPS server setup, we have our VPN server set up,

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,600
but we need to know that this is all working correctly before we

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,260
start pushing out software settings to our clients.

12
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:45,070
And so what we're going to do is we're going to create a test VPN profile

13
00:00:45,070 --> 00:00:49,860
on a client and configure it manually and then perform,

14
00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:51,070
again, some validation testing.

15
00:00:51,070 --> 00:00:53,510
We're going to make sure that we can connect to the VPN server,

16
00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:55,680
make sure that we can authenticate, and,

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,220
importantly, access internal resources over the VPN,

18
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:02,270
make sure that our routing is working, and so forth.

19
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:05,440
And once we've done that, once that's successful,

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,820
then we'll move on to provisioning these client

21
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:11,450
configuration settings using Intune. Intune is the solution

22
00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:13,770
of choice for managing Always On VPN.

23
00:01:13,770 --> 00:01:17,890
It is not the only solution though, and there are other options as well, and

24
00:01:17,890 --> 00:01:22,090
we're going to explore those too by deploying Always On VPN using PowerShell.

25
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:26,760
We'll use a PowerShell script and an XML configuration file, and I'll

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,210
demonstrate how to do that and what those use cases are for deploying Always

27
00:01:31,210 --> 00:01:38,000
On VPN using PowerShell and, importantly, what some of the limitations of using PowerShell are.
