Have you had problems with employees and partners connecting to your network with unpatched or misconfigured computers? How well do you think NAP is likely to work in resolving those issues?
NAP is all very nice in theory but until Longhorn is out and
stable for production use, NAP isn't any use at all.

The Idea is great, the implementation is pure MS. This looks more like a way to force users to keep the MS auto-upgrade connected and turned on all the time thus giving MS another tool to look for illegal system and other software. The system and LAN overhead on this NAP must be enormous. Where's the simple easy to apply stuff; MAC address filtering, IP address filtering, application filtering?

This is an intersting enhancement. Won't be of use until Longhorn is ready, but still something intersting. Its great to see MS getting behind this as its been available for a while through Cisco's clean Access or Enterasys's Sentinal products. Glad to see MS taking some responsiblity for building this type of functionality into the core of the OS. Now lets start working on some better management tools for the firewalls and the ability to deny or allow access through the firewall based on Group membership.

Actually george. M$ have an even more sinister plan of Network aceess protection. They`re planning to use it to make it impossible to connect Linux PC`s to a Windoze Vista network, and maybe in the future lock Macs out too.
Given that a large portion of the internet is run by *nix systems, would that mean that M$ is locking Windows off the internet? Off your LAN...
Comeon Ptero.4. What would be the benefit of this with MS? MS has actaully did a better job of embracing Linux over the past few years. Have you heard of their deal with Suse? There are places where Linux makes sense and places where it does not in corporate networks.
I see you are listed as a student. Start thinking for yourself before you go out into the real world. There are places for both these OS's as well as AIX, Solaris and a host of others. Just depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
I for one would never want to support a bunch of users on Linux. It would not be fun.

That the invading hacker computer and virus are running at 450 trillion plus cps!
It is odd that a computer can be considered "managed" and therefore "trusted" just because its running the latest Windows updates and has the latest AV signature files. What about Domain membership, OS Tagging, etc.
I would like to use a feature like NAP to stop computers, that are not part of our domain, from connecting to the network.
In its current form, I just can't see a good use for it. Especially as the XP client and Server 2008 is so far away.
