You can capture data during the following phases: Boot, Shutdown, Sleep and resume, and Hibernate and resume. After issuing a trace command, the test computer resets within 5 seconds. The On/Off Transition Trace Capture tool can automate a reboot cycle during which the computer running Windows 7 is shut down and rebooted multiple times. You can analyze the captured data by using the Xperf.exe and Xperfview.exe tools.

Question 20

Which of the following DirectAccess connection methods should you use if the client network connection is a private IPv4 address?
A)Teredo
B)6to4
C)Public IPv6 address
D)IP-HTTPS

Accepted Answer

The DirectAccess connection method that you should use if the client network connection is a private IPv4 address is Teredo.
Key Takeaway: Clients receive their DirectAccess configuration through Group Policy. This differs from a traditional VPN configuration where connections are configured manually or distributed through the connection manager administration kit. Once you have added the computer's client account to the designated security group, you need to install a computer certificate on the client for the purpose of DirectAccess authentication.
