Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the answer :-)
Actually I think I forgot to mention in my replay, that I was looking forward to NAP since (from the NAP teams blog) it looks like it will have some user friendly graphic. Only question is if it will be integrated with the ISA VPN (I guess so) *Grins* But I will follow this blog and the NAP teams blog closely, since this seems like a great way to handle security on the LAN in a company and something that we for sure can use.

Keep up the good work :-)

Yours Sincerely,
Benjamin

Introducing the idea of a "JourneyThrough" a new technology

"JourneyThrough" is a term I made up last week to signify a way of linking a series of blog entries...

I agree Benjamin, RQS/RQC wasn't written with the IT guy in mind. We thought more of the IT-Dev, who needed a solution *today*. There was a ton of pressure to supply it, even from our own internal IT group.

We hope to solve this in Longhorn Server with NAP, and give complete policy based control to the admin (through NPS, formally IAS/RADIUS).

I am curious about the experience Steve is going to have setting it all up. I will come back here to check it out. :->

I am going to be posting Beta 2 screen shots this week from my NAP demo rig. I also really want to web cast a live demo of NAP in action. This stuff is real!

Just a brief comment about the lmauriayp feature (free).
I've worked a bit with the RQC client, when I did setup an ISA server 2004 wtih VPN and used the quarantine network. I can see the idee and the use for it, but as an administrator, and not a programmer I had some serius problems actually implementing the features I would like to check for.
I know it can't all be "click" and use, but still I hope that the Quarantine access implementing in the feature will be made a bit easy'er.
It's difficult for an administrator to make a small user interface, so the user know if they get access or what they need to comply with the company security policy.

So perhabs it could come with a default script using windows XP SP2 security center which can check for the antivirus is uptodate parameter.

I personal check for Antivirus (uptodate), Firewall enabled, ICS disabled and then SP2.

Looking forward to the rest of the journey and thanks alot for spending some time on these topisc :-)
