Because there were too many confusions by some moderators and other people, I read on other different pages with the same given solution to the problem to authenticate through NPS.

On that server for Windows Server 2019, open Command and type the following:

  • sc sidtype IAS unrestricted

After a success message, restart the server.

I was able to authenticate through my phone, but my laptop didn't except through VPN on the second server from this one.

    Hi ,

    From your screenshot, VPN and DC are installed on the same machine? We did not recommend install VPN and DC on the same machine.

    Let's sort out the current problem. Based on my understanding, your issue is that WIFI authentication for windows machine not work with NPS server 2019. Is that right? Please feel free to let me know if my understanding is wrong. If yes, please refer to the following steps:

    1. Carefully review the authentication policy on both the client and server to ensure they match.
    2. When you cannot connect to the WIFI network, what's the error message keep popping?
    3. Please enable firewall logging on the NPS server to log both allowed and dropped packets. Connect to the WIFI network again, and observe the NPS's firewall logs. Check if NPS server's firewall is dropping RADIUS authentication packets.

    Best Regards,

    Candy

    SSTP is back up. I enabled TLS 1.2 before uninstalling and reinstalling RRAS in Server 2019 VPN. But L2TP has a processing error. L2TP and SSTP works on Server 2016 with no bugs. (One running NPS and other running VPN both on Server 2016)

    Overall, The bugs are in Server 2019 for NPS (Windows 10 computers cannot connect, even Windows 10 Mobile)

    The NPS and VPN will work correctly in Server 2016. There are some defects in Server 2019

    This resolved my problem after troubleshooting for 3 weeks. Thanks

    "On Windows Server 2019 with NPS role installed, open an admin command prompt & run the following command:"

    1.sc sidtype IAS unrestricted

    2.Reboot the server

    3.Attempt the connection
