In this session, we talk about Network Policy Server (NPS) in Windows Server 2008, and how to implement Network Access Protection (NAP). We start with an introduction to the Network Policy Server, and show how it plays a valuable role in maintaining the integrity of an internal computer network. We also explain how to deploy and configure NAP, how NAP works, and how it employs NPS. Learn to enable debug tracing, and how it can be used for monitoring and troubleshooting connectivity problems. Finally, see how to use load balancing and how to set up fallback servers, in addition to various techniques for deploying backup/recovery plans to maintain a high-availability network access system.
