Setting Up a Radius Server

[Stephen Hartman]

Hi all,

A couple of questions. We have a win2k server acting as our DC for a small
domain. I have 3 wireless access points I would like to authenticate using
radius. Ideally I would like to setup the current server as the radius
server also. Does this pose any possible problems/conflicts? Also when
setting up Certificate Services I would be presented the option of running
terminal services in Remote Administrator Mode or Application Server mode.
I have a solid understanding of the differences between the two and would
prefer to use Remote Admin Mode, but would this be kosher? TIA

Depending the limitations of your hardware, you can install and run whatever
you like on the DC. You need to examine the security risks - what is your
network topology? Are you connected to the outside world in there
anywhere??

If you want your users to use TS you will need to use Application Server
mode. If you only want TS so you can log in for Admin purposes (or don't
really want to use TS at all ;-) use Remote Admin mode.

I hope this helps,
