add files at the subfolders at all, which made function practically unusable. So, i hope that there is coming some minor

transmitted in the clear?
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: DA uses Encryption using IPsec for tunneling.
PESK the Cleric posted: Any timelines on Win Surface Pro?
Matt Arkin replied publicly: 3 months after release
Jaime DePaula posted: is this direct access similar to a VPN?

it is done automatically.
Corey McClain posted: There is a way to have all traffic go through DA though, correct?
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: Yes you can do that in DA Configuration.,
JeffreyTz posted: Some of the Direct Access features were already in Server 2008 R2 - does Windows 8 require Server
2012 for these features or will it work with Server 2008 R2?
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: When you use Windows 8 you will require Windows Server 2012 as a DA Server
& Windows 7 clients will work with that setup.
BranchCache is next. Another useful feature to save WAN Utilization & Deliver great performance over LAN.
Rikk posted: Count me in on the server jumpstart Rickster
RicksterCDN - MSFT replied publicly: Look forward to seeing you online.
Jaime DePaula posted: Does Direct Access uses an SSL(https) connection?
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: Hi Jaime, Yes DA Uses IP-HTTPS.
Jaime DePaula posted: Does Direct Access uses an SSL(https) connection?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: Yes, it is one of the options it uses, so it goes though most firewalls with no
problems.
Caulley posted: Does branch cache manage files in a similar method as NUMA manages resources?
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: No. NUMA is for Memory & CPU. BranchCache will basically uses some free
space on your machine (distributed cache) or a dedicated file shares (Hosted Cache) controlled by group policy.
Caulley posted: Does branch cache manage files in a similar method as NUMA manages resources?

be completed before proceeding.
Steve Whitcher posted: Anyone have a good description of use case for branchcache vs dfsr?
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: BranchCache is recommend when you have lot of data keep on changing. DFSR
if you have fixed set of data often less frequently changing. For e.g. S/W Installations, LOB Apps etc.
Hey everyone... Grab your mouse and vote in Stephen's poll. Please and thank you!
Jaime DePaula posted: DA - What about the server side? Server 2008?
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: DA is available in Windows Server 2012 Standard & Datacenter.
MikeCourtney posted: I thought DA was IPSEC rather than SSL
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: Hi Mike, DA Uses IPsec as encryption between it's infrastructure tunnel &
Application tunnel. However, when you do not have full IPv6 based end points it will be using IP-HTTPS to establish
initial connection with DA Server & subsequent tunnels will be using IPsec.
@Stev Whitcher : Regarding the branchcache vs DFSR, a lot of Microsoft applications are also designed to leverage
branchcache. Examples include WSUS and System Center Configuration Manager.
JasonWW posted: I deployed Branch Cache for a global client. It was excellent
Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: Thanks Jason.

Aviraj Ajgekar - MSFT replied publicly: You need to refer the TechNet Library for setting up the DA. The design will be
based upon are you using only MS Stack or using any 3rd party load balancers etc.
Bunny posted: where can I find info on DART?

Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied privately: You need to compare the 2 products and see which one fits your
requirements, but basically, yes
Vedran posted: hmmm. so you wouldn't use DFS-R for redirected folders?
RicksterCDN - MSFT replied publicly: DFS-R for redirected folders would mean that you have multiple copies of the
redirected folders in multiple locations. it would speed up logon time, but kinda defeat the purpose of a central location
for user folder data.

manager should be able to manage 2008R2 terminal servers (with WMF 3.0)?

TimLuscher posted: so will uefi bios options vary from vendor to vendor?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: Yes, each hardware vendor can implement what they want apart from that
is base requirement for UEFI standards or Windows 8 Logo certification
Last call on this current poll....
I only have two more polls and they're the most important polls of the day. We truly hope you've enjoyed learning about
Windows 8 and genuinely want your answers to these last two questions...
effectual posted: is rec image specific to each pc, or can it be domain joined and have the computername update per
machine?
David Tesar MSFT replied publicly: You can make it domain joined, but of course that image doesn't scale.
sebt posted: which version of DaRT is compatible with which windows-version? are the new versions compatible with
older windows clients (win7, winXP) or is there a list which version is for which OS version?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: Answered now live (Modern OS = Vista, 7 and 8)
Hey everyone... Second-to-last POLL QUESTION just posted. Please take a moment and choose the BEST ANSWER!
Justin W posted: If the drive is encrypted, can DaRT still be used to unlock the computer?
David Tesar MSFT replied publicly: No, you will still need to unlock the encrypted drive (i.e. bitlocker). If they setup the
device to unlock using a TPM + Pin and you know the pin, this would count.
HermanD posted: Is it possible to have Defender and a separate (say Norton) Antivirus installed on Windows 8?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: Defender disables itself when it sees another AV installed (and re-enables it
self too if the AV is removed)
David Moen posted: To be clear, are you saying Windows 8 PCs don't require the installation of an anti-virus product?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: See this blog: link
David Moen posted: To be clear, are you saying Windows 8 PCs don't require the installation of an anti-virus product?
David Tesar MSFT replied publicly: If you just want AV protection, then you don't need another AV solution. If you
want to have enterprise management and visibility, then defender doesn't do this so you will need another solution like
System Center Endpoint Protection 2012.

MichaelN posted: How to deal with "Windows 8 To Go" when created through x64 but the USP is used on x32 PC or
vice versa?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: It won't boot. Is a decision you need to make, but most modern PC's
support x64.
TomKer posted: What about AV in Windows RT?
David Tesar MSFT replied publicly: No difference - uses Defender.
Victor Nichols posted: David Tesar MSFT replied publicly: If you just want AV protection, then you don't need another

another solution like System Center Endpoint Protection 2012. How does TMG 2010 add up, with firewall client install?
David Tesar MSFT replied publicly: TMG is great for adding protection to secure outbound internet access from within
your organization, but does not protect agains viruses on the PCs themselves.
PESK the Cleric posted: In Win7 you needed a separate partition/volume, etc...What are the HDD requirements for BL?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: Yes, Setup creates a separate small Volume of 350MB
Not quite half of you have cast your vote in the poll below... Please grab your mouse and share your thoughts with us...
Danny ORawe posted: Is there any confirmation yet? Is Direct Access going to be available in the Pro versions of
Windows 8? or is it only in the Enterprise version?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: Direct Access in an Enterprise Edition feature
PESK the Cleric posted: @Michael; Does it have to be the S: drive?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: No, it is a volume without a drive letter. Same for Windows 7
kvare1 posted: Does Windows To Go support BitLocker To Go?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: WTG support Bitlocker on the stick

Caulley posted: I hate to bring this up, but... Certain other companies offering app stores, certified virus and malware
free apps. However occasionally one or to manage to slip through. Does Microsoft have an internal response policy in
place to bring them off the store quickly should this happen?
Matt Arkin replied publicly: Apps can be removed from the store, Modern style apps also run in a sandbox, and there
are other ways that Microsoft can deal with malware/security issue.

Store?
Matt Arkin replied publicly: You can control what apps people can access and download
IanP posted: Sorry if I missed this but what enterprise control (i.e. GPO) exist to control what users access on the App
Store?
Michael Epprecht - MSFT replied publicly: Not GPO, AppLocker does this
Talking about hardware really reminded me you didn't talk about the new hardware for Windows 8 like the touch
mouses which should help people.
