I have a quick question for those who know, is the traffic between a DA client and the DirectAccess server still IPv6 like it is in UAG 2010? Reason is that the Lync app is not IPv6 aware and forced tunneling breaks it in UAG 2010 but if 2012 uses IPv4
then the Lync app should work.
In regard to traffic between the client and the DA server it is still IPv6 like with the UAG.
A suggestion is that you exclude the Lync DNS records in your NRPT rules and have your DA clients connect to the edge server like an external client would.
