Clients cannot connect to IPv4-only resources when you use DirectAccess and external load balancing in Windows Server 2012


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You deploy DirectAccess on a computer that is running Windows Server 2012 in a network environment. The environment contains some intranet resources that only have IPv4 addresses.
  • You enable external load balancing in the environment.
  • A DirectAccess client connects from the Internet to internal resources that only have IPv4 addresses.
In this scenario, DNS64 does not resolve the computer names of the internal resources. Therefore, clients cannot connect to the internal resources.

Cause

This issue occurs because the firewall does not enumerate loopback addresses and treats them as unknown addresses.

Windows Server 2012 file information notes
Important Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 updates are included in the same packages.
  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
    VersionProductMilestoneService branch
    6.2.920 0.16 xxxWindows Server 2012RTMGDR
    6.2.920 0.20 xxxWindows Server 2012RTMLDR

MANIFEST files and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
