I think Kelly Slone may have got it right. I believe they did use the desktop version to download the client and got it downloaded fine. It was running the CCA installer itself where the we had issue. I did a little more research and found that there are no companies developing any antivirus for RT. Windows RT does have Windows Defender built in. We will see if those things change.
It will not run any .exe files, only the Surface Pro will have the full Windows 8 OS with the ability to run the .exe files. Thanks for everyone's incite and response.

In Windows 8 Operating System, the Internet Explorer has two modes, Desktop and Metro. In the Metro mode, the ActiveX plugins are restricted. You cannot download NAC Agent in the Metro mode. You must switch to Desktop mode and then launch Internet Explorer to download NAC Agent. The same is true for 4.9.1 and ISE. It is because of the way Microsoft has designed their Tablet version.

It has Flash built in and is updated via Windows Updates. This is by design. We ran into a similar issue with Cisco's VPN solution. Officially, Windows 8 is not supported by Cisco. Perhaps they have a similar statement for NAC.

If you go into system properties on the system, it shows Windows RT not Window 8. It looks exactly like Windows 8. Has anyone seen/heard anything about its support? We are on 4.9.1 and cannot upgrade to the latest because our we are not on the latest hardware. This was rude awakening last month. We have only had our current hardware in place for 3 years and had asked this last summer about continued support for CCA and was told we had nothing to worry about.

NAC can now identify Windows 8 clients, and we can get them logged in. Once I downloaded and distributed the patch file on all servers, the actual installation took about 10 minutes total for 2 CAM and 2 CAS. Good luck! Kurt Kurt E.
