Managing NPS Servers

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012

Managing NPS servers across your organization means providing NPS server availability, with approved and consistent network policies configured across your NPS deployment.

When you manage NPS servers, you ensure that RADIUS clients have access to the servers, that NPS servers have permission to access your user account databases, and that RADIUS traffic is sent and received on the same UDP ports.

In addition, you can synchronize server configurations in whole or in part by using Netsh commands for NPS.

• Administer NPS by Using Tools
