I have been talking to customer regards the value of Window Server 2008 for over a year now. One of the most discussed topics is security and the advancements that Windows Server 2008 brings to an IT infrastructure. Within the security discussion Network Access Protection is a big topic and I thought I would be good to describe NAP and then link to a one page master list of resources for NAP at www.microsoft.com.

Network Access Protection (NAP) is a policy enforcement platform built into Microsoft Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 that allows you to better protect your private network by enforcing compliance with computer health requirements—for example, having a firewall installed and enabled and having the latest operating system updates installed. Use the resources in this learning path to better understand how NAP can improve the overall health compliance of your network. The tools provided will also help you set up NAP so you can create customized policies and limit access for unhealthy devices.
