DirectAccess and mixed/native mode

  • Article

Common question:  "Does my ConfigMgr 2007 site need to be in native mode in order to use the Direct Access feature?"  The answer is no.  Native mode provides a more secure environment but isn't required if you want to enable Direct Access on your clients.  Mixed mode will work just fine.  MSIT has been using this configuration for a long time and it works great.
