Conclusion

I’m excited about NAP. The days of unrestricted access to Windows networks are coming to an end, and Microsoft has displayed its ongoing commitment to its Trustworthy Computing Initiative by developing the NAP platform that we’ve described in this chapter. And with industry support by over a hundred different third-party ISVs and IHVs, NAP is likely to be the dominant player in the network access platform marketplace. If you haven’t started testing NAP, you should being doing so using the latest build of Windows Server 2008 available to your enterprise because this is one technology you really don’t want to be without.
