Hi
I am running a NAP DHCP test in a lab environment but cannot seem to get a client computer to respond to the settings properly. My setup is as follows:
1 x Server 2012 R2 Domain controller with ADDS, DNS, DHCP and NPS roles installed
1 x Windows 8.1 Client
The client is joined to the domain.
I have configured NAP in NPS for DHCP with the remediation server as the DC. The health setting is set to firewall only for Windows 8 machines. I have enabled NAP for the DHCP scope (there is only one scope) and created a GPO to enable NAP DCHP on all domain computers.
I have done a gpupdate /force on the client, restarted it, released and renewed the ip but for some reason when I turn the firewall off, NAP doesn't seem to kick in. If I restart the client with the firewall off I will get restricted access but then even if I turn the firewall back on it will not register and give me network access. I have seen a training video with this same kind of setup and it worked fine, and NAP worked instantly (as soon as the firewall was turned off/on) but I cannot work out why this particular configuration will not work as it should. Any help is much appreciated. Alex
