This webcast explains how Network Access Protection (NAP), built into Windows Vista and Windows Server code-named "Longhorn" operating systems, provides policy enforcement components to help ensure that computers on a network meet administrator-defined requirements for system health. With NAP, the users can use a combination of policy validation and network isolation components to control network access, and temporarily isolate computers to a more secure network segment if they do not meet system health requirements. The webcast provides an overview of the NAP architecture and requirements, demonstrate NAP using Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enforcement, and drill down to the NAP components.
