When Network Policy Server (NPS) is configured as a Network Access Protection (NAP) policy server, health policy and client computer configuration determine whether NAP-capable client computers are allowed full network access, full network access for a limited time, or limited access to a restricted network only. This determination is made based on the health policy created in NPS. NAP client computers that comply with health policies are allowed full network access. |
