Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • The computer has a native IPv6 address.

  • The computer is also configured as a DirectAccess client to use the IP over HTTPS (IP-HTTPS) protocol to access an intranet network. Note When the IP-HTTPS protocol is set up, an IP-HTTPS adapter is installed on the computer.

  • A network policy change occurs that changes the DirectAccess settings on the computer.

In this scenario, the IP-HTTPS adapter is uninstalled. Therefore, you cannot access the intranet network through the IP-HTTPS protocol. For example, in a home network, you have a computer that is connected to a router that configures and routes IPv6 addresses. You use this computer as a DirectAccess client to connect to a company network. However, the DirectAccess server is not configured to use IPv6 addresses. Therefore, the computer uses the IP-HTTPS protocol to access the company network. Then, the DirectAccess settings on this computer are updated by a Group Policy. In this example, the connection to the company network is lost.
