Yup but that seems to be the only benefit since the service would still need to have the user logged in to their PC first to determine the role therefore compliance requirement (cant check compliance until we know who you are). Maybe the big benefit aside from uac is perpetual compliance checking. Something like making sure vmware is not installed during posture assessment and also after you've already entered the network.
Thanks

I would think that by becoming a service, it'll remove the need to
authorize it in UAC when using Vista/7.

Subject: Cisco NAC 4.5.x Agent as service?
Hey All-
We are looking to upgrade to the NAC Appliance and I remember rumors
of the Agent becoming a service rather than a startup item. Can anyone
tell me if the 4.5.x Agent is now a Windows service or did they keep it
as a startup item? Any benefits to note from it becoming a service
rather than a startup item?
Thanks in advance, and I hope everyone is having a good summer.
