Your VPN IP pool on SBS 2011 will need to be updated with the server details for your internal DNS servers.

SBS 2003 deployed the &quot;connection manager&quot; for VPN clients which had the DNS configurations already added. With SBS 2011 you use the built-in Windows client VPN and should manually add the SBS as the DNS server, and the DNS suffix, to the client configuration as per:<br />

Hi jake,<br />
<br />
I am more interested in your route as it is most similar to how it worked before. I never had to modify anything on the client end, what changes need to be made on the server to help with this?<br />

Thanks

Thanks in Advance

VPN DNS Issue

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
