New “Step By Step Guide: Demonstrate DirectAccess with Network Access Protection (NAP) in a Test Lab” document available

  • Article

The Step By Step Guide: Demonstrate DirectAccess with Network Access Protection (NAP) in a Test Lab document describes how to configure NAP enforcement for access to the intranet in the DirectAccess test lab (described in the Step By Step Guide: Demonstrate DirectAccess in a Test Lab document).

NAP, built into Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, monitors and assesses the health of client computers when they attempt to connect or communicate on a network. NAP with DirectAccess allows you to specify that only computers that meet system health requirements can use DirectAccess to reach intranet resources.

If you have a working test lab based on the Step By Step Guide: Demonstrate DirectAccess in a Test Lab document, try out this new guide and watch how NAP prevents CLIENT1 from accessing intranet resources when it does not meet system health requirements.

Enjoy!
