Direct Access setup issue

Hi,

I am attempting to deploy Direct Access on a Windows 2012 R2 server with a single network card. I want to deploy Direct access only (no VPN). When applying the Getting Started Wizard Settings, I come across the following output and error (in bold below). Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to even begin troubleshooting?

HERE ARE ALL THE CONFIGURATION DETAILS:

The server has a public and private address with dns mappings similar to the ones below:

Private IP mappings

192.168.1.160 -> DirectAccess-NLS.domain.com
192.168.1.160 -> DirectAccess-WebProbeHost.domain.com


Public IP mappings

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (public IP) -> web.domain.com
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (public IP) -> da.domain.com

To configure Remote Access Setup, I am running the "Getting Started Wizard" with these choices:

Deploy DirectAccess only

Select the network topology of the server: Behind an edge device (with a single network adapter)

Type the public name of IPv4 address used by clients to connect to the Remote Access server: public IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

DirectAccess server GPO name: DirectAccess Server Settings

Client GPO name: DirectAccess Client Settings

DirectAccess settings will be applied to all mobile computers in security groups: DOMAIN\Domain Computers

Resource used to verify internal network connectivity: A default web probe to check corporate connectivity will be created automatically

DirectAccess connection name: Workplace Connection

Public name or address to which remote clients connect: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (public IP)

Network adapter connected to the Internet (via NAT device): Ethernet

DNA suffixes used by DirectAccess clients:

domain.com | 192.168.1.160
web.domain.com | <blank>


Thank you!!
