00:00:02,940 --> 00:00:08,140
So in this demonstration, I'm going to show you how to monitor Always On VPN.

2
00:00:08,140 --> 00:00:09,750
So here we are on our VPN server,

3
00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:12,720
and I'm going to open our trusty Routing and Remote

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,980
Access Management console. And once again,

5
00:00:16,980 --> 00:00:19,260
you should be intimately familiar with this because we've

6
00:00:19,260 --> 00:00:21,560
been using it throughout the course so far.

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,880
And we've been doing our configuration tasks here,

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,660
but you'll also notice that if I expand the server,

9
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:31,010
you'll see there is a note here called remote access clients,

10
00:00:31,010 --> 00:00:35,670
and if I click on that, I can view current active VPN sessions.

11
00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:39,100
Now if I double‑click on an individual connection,

12
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:42,970
you'll see that I get some detailed information here,

13
00:00:42,970 --> 00:00:47,260
statistics about data transfer, any errors that might have occurred,

14
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:52,740
and importantly, the IP addresses assigned to this particular endpoint.

15
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:56,200
What you'll see here is what's displayed by default.

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,680
If you actually just right‑click anywhere in the open space here

17
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,660
and choose View and then Add/Remove Columns,

18
00:01:02,660 --> 00:01:06,490
you'll see that there is some additional information that's available to us,

19
00:01:06,490 --> 00:01:09,740
and we can also see what columns are displayed currently.

20
00:01:09,740 --> 00:01:13,040
Now, I'd like to customize this in a variety of different ways.

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,240
So for example,

22
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,270
the status information is completely useless to me because every

23
00:01:18,270 --> 00:01:21,550
client is going to be listed as Not NAP‑capable.

24
00:01:21,550 --> 00:01:26,050
Microsoft removed NAP from the endpoints and from Windows 10 a long time

25
00:01:26,050 --> 00:01:28,980
ago and so this is always going to show the same thing.

26
00:01:28,980 --> 00:01:32,940
So the first thing I'm going to do is actually remove the status column,

27
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:35,280
but there is also some things that I would really like to see.

28
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,190
For example,

29
00:01:36,190 --> 00:01:43,430
I would love to see the client IP address here and perhaps it's the VPN type,

30
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:46,290
and authentication type I find helpful as well.

31
00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:49,540
And then, of course, you can reorder these columns as you wish.

32
00:01:49,540 --> 00:01:50,940
So let's click OK,

33
00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:54,670
and you'll see now it provides us a little bit more meaningful information,

34
00:01:54,670 --> 00:01:58,480
and of course, you can sort on these columns and and so forth.

35
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,310
So I find this to be fairly helpful.

36
00:02:01,310 --> 00:02:11,000
What I find here though, is that, again, the amount of information that's available to you is somewhat limited.
