Explanation:
Network Access Protection (NAP) is a set of operating system components included with the
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista/7 operating systems. It ensures that the client computers
on a private network meet administrator-defined requirements for system health. NAP policies
define the required configuration and update status for a client computer’s operating system and
critical software. For example, an administrator can set policies that computers might be required to
have antivirus software with the latest virus definition installed and current operating system
updates. Using NAP, a network administrator can enforce compliance with health requirements for
the client computers connection to the network. NAP helps network administrators to reduce the
risk caused by improperly configured client computers that might be exposed to viruses and other
malicious software. It is required to define exceptions in NAP for those devices that are not
compatible with NAP.
