I had looked at Cisco remote access solutions with the 7120 running PPTP and the 3003 about 4 years ago. Then the cisco client didn't receive group policies, etc and couldn't do anything with AD. This created problems in that remote laptops didn't get software updates being pushed with group policies. Has any of this changed?
For example 2003 Server allows the client to inherit any group policies, software changes, and with Network Quarantine Server the client can't connect unless the connection manager policy matches (ie you must have ICF turned on, your must have Norton AV virus def 1/22/2004 rev. 7). Is there a way to do policies with the 3003 concentrator?
What is Cisco pushing now for remote access via VPN?

PS There is no IPSec involved.
