IT Interview Questions: What is the "RAS and IAS" group in AD?

The Remote Access Service (RAS) allows computers to make network connections to each other using telephone lines.

Windows 3.11, Windows 95, and Windows NT Workstation and Server can call out to another computer or communications server. Windows NT Workstation and Server can accept calls from any of these OS types. In most cases, the type of connection between the computers will be the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) running over an analog phone line, but RAS also supports the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), X.25, and ISDN connections. This chapter describes the network protocols used by RAS, and how to install, configure, and start the RAS services.
