Unless you control all aspects of your network, you will need to gather a team of subject
matter experts to get something as complicated as NAP up and running in a production
environment. Careful coordination is necessary to ensure that all parts of your infrastructure
can successfully co-exist in your NAP environment. For example, you may need
the network team to upgrade the switches and access points to be 802.1x capable. The good
news is that NAP can be implemented so that you can see who would be blocked based
on your policies, and fine-tune them or remediate those noncompliant systems prior to
enforcing your restrictions. This way, you can ease the system into your environment and
prevent any unwanted side effects??”such as disconnecting the CEO??™s laptop from the
network because she changed her configuration from your normal standards.

More and more companies are realizing the value of allowing employees and
even clients to access their applications remotely and securely anytime,
anywhere. Although virtual private network (VPN) solutions are a good choice
for this, they can be less than ideal. For example, you may want to expose only one or
two applications or control the environments in which an application runs. Terminal
Services (TS) has fulfilled this role since its introduction with Windows 2000.
