Hi,
We have setup directaccess in our environment and everything is working fine except the client facing issues of slowness in accessing files from file server located in data center. This file server is used only by the users on directaccess site. We are discussing to place the server in directaccess client subnet so that client will work more efficiently.
We have configured the vpn tunnel between directaccess site and data center to manage the printers remotely. Since vpn tunnel is in place and to enable the client to use directaccess connection we have blocked the port of NLS server so that client will connect with directaccess only.
Local file server will communicate with data center on vpn tunnel.
My query is to know would client be able to communicate with local file server directly as both are in the same subnet with\\IPAddress of local file server when client connected with directaccess. Also, if we required to access the file server with short name or fqdn does that required entry in host file of client accessing the server ?
I Think when DA client working from home the client will still access the file server and the traffic for local file server will routed from datacenter to local file server on vpn tunnel.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
