NAP anyone?

I'm testing out NPS or NAP (whatever they call it) in a lab setting...wondering if anyone has it running on production networks yet. It seems to do what it is supposed to do, as far as I can tell. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~

I installed the latest Exchange patch last night, and until I manually killed the inetinfo process, it just hung. After rooting around the event logs, I found where the hang up was. After that, the patch installed correctly and the other updates were smooth. On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 5:23 AM, Clayt
