What Is RRAS and What Can It Do Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) is a multi-purpose networking role in Windows Server 2022 that provides VPN server capabilities, NAT (Network Address Translation), LAN routing, and dial-up remote access from a single unified service. Understanding RRAS’s full capabilities is essential before deployment, because the configuration path […]
What Is SSTP and Why Use It Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol (SSTP) is a VPN tunneling protocol developed by Microsoft that encapsulates Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) traffic inside HTTPS (SSL/TLS) on port 443. Because it uses the same port as standard HTTPS web traffic, SSTP VPN connections can traverse virtually any corporate firewall, web proxy, and […]
Always On VPN vs DirectAccess: Why the Upgrade Matters Always On VPN (AOVPN) is Microsoft’s modern replacement for DirectAccess, introduced with Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016. While DirectAccess provided transparent remote access using IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling and IPsec, it was tightly coupled to Active Directory group policy, required IPv6 infrastructure, only supported domain-joined Windows Enterprise […]
Introduction to Network Load Balancing on Windows Server 2022 Network Load Balancing (NLB) is a built-in Windows Server feature that distributes incoming TCP/IP traffic across multiple servers in a cluster. Unlike Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC), which provides high availability by moving a service from a failed node to a healthy one, NLB distributes load […]
Introduction to Windows Server Failover Clustering with SQL Server Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) combined with SQL Server Failover Cluster Instances (FCI) is one of the oldest and most battle-tested high-availability solutions for SQL Server workloads. Unlike Always On Availability Groups, which replicate data between nodes, a Failover Cluster Instance presents SQL Server as a […]
How to Configure Failover Clustering on Windows Server 2022 Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) provides high availability for server roles and applications by grouping multiple servers (nodes) into a cluster. If one node fails, the cluster automatically moves the workload (a clustered role) to another healthy node — a process called failover. Windows Server 2022 […]
How to Set Up Network File System (NFS) Server on Windows Server 2022 Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol that allows Linux, Unix, and other POSIX-compatible clients to mount remote file shares over TCP/IP and access them as if they were local filesystems. Windows Server 2022 includes a built-in NFS Server […]
How to Configure Distributed File System (DFS) on Windows Server 2022 The Distributed File System (DFS) in Windows Server 2022 is a set of client and server services that allow administrators to organize shared folders located on different servers into a single logical namespace. Users navigate a single virtual path (such as \contoso.comsharesHR) without needing […]
How to Set Up iSCSI Target Server on Windows Server 2022 iSCSI (Internet Small Computer Systems Interface) is a block-level storage protocol that transports SCSI commands over TCP/IP networks. Windows Server 2022 includes a built-in iSCSI Target Server role that allows you to create and expose virtual disk images (VHDs or VHDXs) to initiators — […]
How to Configure Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) on Windows Server 2022 Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) is Microsoft’s software-defined storage technology built into Windows Server, enabling you to cluster servers with local storage — NVMe, SSDs, and HDDs — into a highly available, scalable storage pool without the need for a shared SAS fabric or SAN. […]
