DirectAccess
With Windows 7, working from locations other than your of ce becomes even simpler. With DirectAc-
cess, you can more securely connect to your corporate network over any Internet connection—without
having to use VPN technology. It’s easy to connect to corporate resources whenever you have an Inter-
net connection and, in most cases, it will seem as if you are connecting from your desktop computer at
work. You can also still access public Web sites without going through your work network. When you use
DirectAccess, your IT department can administer your PC whenever it’s connected to the Internet, so you
can easily stay up-to-date with company policies.

VPN Reconnect
You may still need to use a VPN if your company can’t start using DirectAccess right away. In Windows 7,
VPNs are easier to use than before. In the past, when using a VPN connection, you had to redial whenever
you lost your Internet connection. VPN Reconnect in Windows 7 keeps you connected by automatically
reestablishing a VPN connection any time you temporarily lose your Internet connection.

Of ine Access to Network Sources
When you’re out of the of ce and don’t have an Internet connection, Of ine Files provides a great way
to continue to work with documents and les that are stored on your corporate network. For example,
while traveling on a long ight, you can work on a copy of a le that’s cached on your PC, and any
changes you make will automatically be synchronized with the server the next time you connect to the
corporate network.
Of ine les are quickly synched with your work server
when you reconnect to your corporate network.
Before Windows 7, when IT professionals implemented
Of ine Files, you had to wait for les to be moved to the
server when you logged on for the rst time. Windows 7
eliminates this delay by rst copying data les to the
local Of ine Files cache and then synchronizing the
cache with the server in the background.
