Introduction to Network Access Protection” white paper Webcast updated

Chris Renkar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 20:52:00 GMT

This video was just released by Joe Davies at Microsoft on new updates related to NAP.

Hey NAP fans!Back in 2006, I had the idea of creating “white paper Webcasts,” or Webcast versions of important and popular white papers on networking technologies. I created a series of white paper Webcasts for wireless security technologies, IPv6, and of course, NAP.Things have changed somewhat since 2006, especially for NAP. Therefore, I have re-recorded the “Introduction to Network Access Protection” white paper Webcast for the current version of the “Introduction to Network Access Protection” white paper (located here). This new Webcast updates NAP terminology and provides a better explanation of NAP components, the built-in WSHA and WSHV, and the various NAP enforcement methods and behaviors.Download the WMV version for the full video or the WMV or MP3 audio versions to listen to in your car on the way to work. Enjoy! http://blogs.technet.com/nap/archive/2008/10/29/introduction-to-network-access-protection-white-paper-webcast-updated.aspxJoe Davies

Network Access Protection Part 2

Chris Renkar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:54:20 GMT

In my previous post on Network Access Protection I showed you how to configure the server and get the switch going for 802.1x authentication. In this Screencast I'm going to look at what happens at the client end so you can see how to configure a Windows Vista client and then look at some of the events that get logged when a client moves in and out of health.

Enjoy!

Network Access Protection with 802.1x (Part 1)

Chris Renkar — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 01:43:38 GMT

One of the most important features of Windows Server 2008 is Network Access Protection. In its simplest terms NAP is a platform Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista for implementing client health requirements on your network. We all know that clients become unhealthy for many reasons. NAP enforces client health requirements that you defines to make sure that your PC’s in your environment stay healthy. I’ve done presentations and demo’s on this many times so I thought it was about time to turn the demo’s I’ve done into a Screencast. So I needed to break this down into 2 parts. In part 1 of this Screencast I’m going to take you through some of the things you need to do to configure NAP for 802.1x authentication; including the switch configuration; domain setup and NAP setup in Windows Server 2008. In part 2, I’ll show you NAP in action and what it looks like from the client perspective plus some of the events that occur at the server end and on the client.

Level 5 SCCM 2007 OSD Introduction

Brian S. Tucker — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:00:51 GMT

While I still want to unleash the Level 5 guides all at one time on the new site, I make a video and feel the need to post it as a teaser for what's to come. OSD in CM 2007 is complicated, but can be easy once you get the hang of it and understand all the components. This video is just a introduction to OSD in CM 2007. It's a bit long, but most of my videos tend to be long because I want to be complete and correct in the information I pass along to you. I will not be adding any other OSD videos until the new site goes live in April, 2008, but thought this might give some of you an inside view on the basics and some of the very cool features available. I'm excited to see all the videos I have made on SCCM and will proudly share them all with you once the new site is on line. I have 30% of the 65 videos made so far and once we go live, there should not be much for anything else other then tips, tricks, service packs and future upgrades. Show me another site that offers so much and I can prove you wrong in many ways. Enjoy the intro and keep coming back to see what else I post as another teaser.
