Jeffa (the 20 year guy, and yes he is wearing shorts at work) kindly spent some time with me to answer some questions in regards to Windows Server 2008. I ask Jeff "What is NAP?"

NAP Resources

Network Access Protection Platform Architecture
Read this white paper for a detailed description of the components of the NAP architecture, how it works, and how it allows third-party software vendors and system integrators to create complete solutions for system health validated network access. For a WebCast version of this white paper, click here.

Network Access Protection Platform Overview
Read the Cable Guy article for July 2005 for an overview of NAP capabilities and architecture and a comparison of NAP with Network Access Quarantine Control in Windows Server 2003.
