I'm trying to deploy Direct Access with Server 2012 to replace my finicky 2008R2/TMG direct access install. I've got a new 2012 VM spun up. It's sitting on the edge and I'm logged in as the domain admin. The role is installed, but the getting started wizard/remote access management console simply fails to connect to the domain controller. I've captured network traffic and I see bidirectional communication between the server and the DC, so that's not the issue. Any ideas what or how to narrow down the underlying problem?
