I don't think that would help. We have mac users and windows users for
laptops.....privileged employees get access for their iPhone's, iPad's or
androids. A solution for just windows wouldn't cover the whole scope of what we
are trying to do. If it were then yeah I wouldn't have a problem looking at it.

Joshua,
Have you looked at using Microsoft NAP for the Posture Accessment. It only
covers windows workstations, no Mac, Linux, iPad, iPhone, Android, etc.
We deveoped a small program for Posture Assessment that scans Windows
workstations for one of my accounts. The school technicians run the program
before approving Packetfence connections to the network.

Hello,
I'm diving into packetfence to see if this will be a viable solution for our
organization. I had a couple of questions that maybe someone could answer that
I can't seem to find or may have overlooked. I understand the basic concept of
unregistered devices going into a certain vlan and quarantined going in another
and so forth.
What I'm looking for is maybe a user friendly help page for users when they are
confronted for the first time with trying to get onto the network. Maybe a
webpage or notification about getting access to the network and the steps in
order to do that.
The other question I had is......is there a way to have packetfence evaluate
the device to match it up to a standard that can be set and inform the user
that this device either meets the policies set by IT admin's or letting them
know that they need either AV or updates...etc...
To kind of dumb it down...I want a user to be able to come on site....try to
connect to a guest vlan......packetfence screen the device for a set standard
of security....let the user know "hey you need to do updates" or "hey you have
some problems with your machine meeting our standards" to "hey you have met all
requirements follow these steps to obtain internet access.....
I'm trying to get away with having to create a lot of headache for the IT
department to be the middle man with users that only come on site maybe a
handful of times throughout the year. Which for a private school is the case.
We have a byod for our regular students, but the byod is becoming more of a
trend that we have to adapt to.
/end rant...
