Modifying the Remote Access Network Policy

After installing and configuring Remote Access, the NPS system will deny access by default to the Remote Access server for clients, unless the network policy generated is modified. The network policy, which is labeled Connections to Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Server, can be found under the Network Policies node of the Network Policy Server.

The policy must be set to Grant Access in the Access Permission section of the dialog box, as shown in Figure 15.16. This dialog box can be invoked by right-clicking the policy and choosing Properties. After this is enabled, the NPS system will allow client connections.
