Requiring certificates as part of your DirectAccess tunnel authentication process is a good idea in any environment. It makes the solution more secure and enables advanced functionality. The primary driver for most companies to require these certificates is the enablement of Windows 7 clients to connect via DirectAccess, but I suggest that anyone using DirectAccess in any capacity make use of these certs. They are simple to deploy, easy to configure and give you some extra peace of mind knowing that only computers with a certificate issued directly to them from your own internal CA server are going to be able to connect through your DirectAccess entry point.
