Needs
• Need infrastructure to adapt to the changing business needs
• Number of and access needs of remote users is increasing
• Too hard to deploy new technologies with existing systems
Keeping systems reliable and running is job #1
Patching - too much effort , too much downtime
Securing systems is complex and hard to manage
Mobile and remote devices provide a back door for viruses

Windows
Client
MSFT NPS
DHCP, VPN
Switch/Router
Client requests access to network and presents current
health state
2
DHCP, VPN or Switch/Router relays health status to
Microsoft Network Policy Server (RADIUS)
3
Network Policy Server (NPS) validates against IT-defined
health policy
If not policy compliant, client is put in a restricted VLAN
and given access to fix up resources to download patches,
configurations, signatures (Repeat 1 - 4)
