Previous versions of Windows stored secrets in the Local Security Authority (LSA). Prior to Windows 10, the LSA stored secrets used by the operating system in its process memory. With Windows Defender Credential Guard enabled, the LSA process in the operating system talks to a new component called the isolated LSA process that stores and protects those secrets. Data stored by the isolated LSA process is protected using Virtualization-based security and isn't accessible to the rest of the operating system. LSA uses remote procedure calls to communicate with the isolated LSA process. For security reasons, the isolated LSA process doesn't host any device drivers. Instead, it only hosts a small subset of operating system binaries that are needed for security and nothing else. All of these binaries are signed with a certificate that is trusted by virtualization-based security and these signatures are validated before launching the file in the protected environment. diff --git a/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-known-issues.md b/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-known-issues.md index b76dd3d133..e190e70c49 100644 --- a/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-known-issues.md +++ b/windows/security/identity-protection/credential-guard/credential-guard-known-issues.md @@ -3,24 +3,22 @@ title: Windows Defender Credential Guard - Known issues (Windows) description: Windows Defender Credential Guard - Known issues in Windows Enterprise ms.prod: m365-security ms.localizationpriority: medium -author: dansimp -ms.author: dansimp -manager: dansimp +author: paolomatarazzo +ms.author: paoloma +ms.reviewer: erikdau +manager: aaroncz ms.collection: M365-identity-device-management ms.topic: article ms.date: 01/26/2022 -ms.reviewer: +appliesto: +- ✅ Windows 10 +- ✅ Windows 11 +- ✅ Windows Server 2016 +- ✅ Windows Server 2019 +- ✅ Windows Server 2022 --- - # Windows Defender Credential Guard: Known issues -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 -- Windows 11 -- Windows Server 2016 -- Windows Server 2019 - Windows Defender Credential Guard has certain application requirements.

A VPN client uses special TCP/IP or UDP-based protocols, called *tunneling protocols*, to make a virtual call to a virtual port on a VPN server. In a typical VPN deployment, a client initiates a virtual point-to-point connection to a remote access server over the Internet. The remote access server answers the call, authenticates the caller, and transfers data between the VPN client and the organization’s private network. There are many options for VPN clients. In Windows 10 and Windows 11, the built-in plug-in and the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) VPN plug-in platform are built on top of the Windows VPN platform. This guide focuses on the Windows VPN platform clients and the features that can be configured. diff --git a/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-guide.md b/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-guide.md index 58fa8e9068..c235596b5c 100644 --- a/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-guide.md +++ b/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-guide.md @@ -2,22 +2,19 @@ title: Windows VPN technical guide (Windows 10 and Windows 11) description: Learn about decisions to make for Windows 10 or Windows 11 clients in your enterprise VPN solution and how to configure your deployment. ms.prod: m365-security -author: dansimp +author: paolomatarazzo ms.localizationpriority: medium ms.date: 02/21/2022 -ms.reviewer: -manager: dansimp -ms.author: dansimp +manager: aaroncz +ms.author: paoloma +ms.reviewer: pesmith +appliesto: +- ✅ Windows 10 +- ✅ Windows 11 --- # Windows VPN technical guide - -**Applies to** - -- Windows 10 -- Windows 11 - This guide will walk you through the decisions you will make for Windows 10 or Windows 11 clients in your enterprise VPN solution and how to configure your deployment.

The client may also receive the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server and the IP address of the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server. The name resolution setting in the VPN profile configures how name resolution should work on the system when VPN is connected. The networking stack first looks at the Name Resolution Policy table (NRPT) for any matches and tries a resolution in the case of a match. If no match is found, the DNS suffix on the most preferred interface based on the interface metric is appended to the name (in the case of a short name) and a DNS query is sent out on the preferred interface. If the query times out, the DNS suffix search list is used in order and DNS queries are sent on all interfaces. diff --git a/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-office-365-optimization.md b/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-office-365-optimization.md index 2022a4e863..c54c8c05a4 100644 --- a/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-office-365-optimization.md +++ b/windows/security/identity-protection/vpn/vpn-office-365-optimization.md @@ -3,14 +3,16 @@ title: Optimizing Office 365 traffic for remote workers with the native Windows description: tbd ms.prod: m365-security ms.topic: article -author: kelleyvice-msft ms.localizationpriority: medium ms.date: 09/23/2021 -ms.reviewer: -manager: dansimp -ms.author: jajo +author: paolomatarazzo +ms.author: paoloma +manager: aaroncz +ms.reviewer: pesmith +appliesto: +- ✅ Windows 10 +- ✅ Windows 11 --- - # Optimizing Office 365 traffic for remote workers with the native Windows 10 and Windows 11 VPN client This article describes how to configure the recommendations in the article [Optimize Office 365 connectivity for remote users using VPN split tunneling](/office365/enterprise/office-365-vpn-split-tunnel) for the *native Windows 10 and Windows 11 VPN client*.
