Chapter 7. Configure a Network Policy Server Infrastructure

Network Access Protection (NAP), as you know, is a Windows Server feature that enforces health requirements on client computers as they attempt to connect to a company network. These health requirements can relate to the status of software updates, of antivirus protection, of host firewall status, or of spyware protection. NAP was first introduced in Windows Server 2008.

Although NAP doesn’t include any significant new features in Windows Server 2012, one important new feature, System Health Validator (SHV) Multi-configuration, appeared in Windows Server 2008 R2. This new feature falls within the one NAP objective listed for the 70-417 exam, Configure Network Access Protection.
