That's all done. Also &quot;use default gateway on remote network&quot; in TCP/IP settings is unselected.

Correction: filling in DNS servers did the trick!

One more thing. My Outlook sometimes pops up asking for credentials, then shows the credentials for the SSTP. Any idea what that might be (I guess something in my adaptor settings)?

Outlook can ask for credentials for a variety of reasons, if you google there are dozens, but most often it is unable to find the server.<br />
<br />
As for showing the SSTP credentials, and possibly why the pop up; &nbsp;go to &nbsp;control panel | Internet options | connections | and see if the VPN connection is in the list. &nbsp;If so, I would remove it unless you want all Internet traffic directed through the VPN.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have setup SSTP via Windows 2016 Essentials.<br />
Everything works fine: connection is ok. However, when the connection is made and I try to rdp to the (domain joined) machine which is making the VPN connection, it says <br />
&quot;specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted&quot;<br />
<br />
Please advise.<br />

Hi,

I have setup SSTP via Windows 2016 Essentials.
Everything works fine: connection is ok. However, when the connection is made and I try to rdp to the (domain joined) machine which is making the VPN connection, it says 
"specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted"

Please advise.

VPN: specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted

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.

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens. Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Windows Server 2016 is the successor to Windows Server 2012 R2. Built upon the same core code as Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 brings enhancements in security, servicing, and connectivity. A particular focus on this release was hybrid-cloud scenarios, and has close ties to Azure and other Microsoft cloud initiatives. This does not detract from the many improvements that are available for on-premises-only deployments

Windows Server 2016 comes in Datacenter, Standard, and Essentials editions, and for servicing, has adopted windows 10's cumulative model. The new nano-server install is designed to be remotely managed and is designed to be kept current through continuous feature updates. The full GUI install operates similarly to windows 10's "Long Term Servicing Branch" (LTSB) model with cumulative security updates.

Windows Server 2016 has also shifted from a per-processor-and-CAL licensing model to a per-core-and CAL licensing model. This brings Windows Server's licensing more in line with Microsoft's other products and makes hybrid-cloud license planning easier as well.
