does anyone know if there exists information on the possible Status en Substatus connection states in Microsoft Direct Access? The information on MSFT_DAConnectionStatus class (Windows) | msdn.microsoft.com states that both properties are uint32's but that's not really helpful.

I know by experience that status code 2 means ConnectedRemotely...

Thanks, David

Have you tried using the Get-DAConnectionStatus PowerShell commandlet? That gives you the current status in text form.

PS C:\Users\administrator> Get-DAConnectionStatus

Status    : ConnectedLocally
Substatus : None

Also, if you're trying to troubleshoot DA connection issues, have you seen the "DirectAccess Client Troubleshooting Tool"?

I am late to the party, but I ran into the same issue today. I quickly determined that Get-DAConnectionInfo automatically generates some runtime types based on the output of the WMI class, they are:

"Microsoft.PowerShell.Cmdletization.GeneratedTypes.DAConnectionStatus.Status" and "Microsoft.PowerShell.Cmdletization.GeneratedTypes.DAConnectionStatus.Substatus"

Meaning, you can query them directly in Powershell, I use the script provided here. For sake of convenience I've included the list below:

Status Enum:

Name              Value
----              -----
ConfigChanged         0
ConnectedLocally      1
ConnectedRemotely     2
ActionableError       3
Error                 4

SubStatus Enum:

Name                                    Value
----                                    -----
Invalid                                     0
None                                        1
NAPUnhealthy                                2
