NPS is not just a replacement for IAS, it does what IAS did and much more. While many of us may be just looking to do the same thing that IAS did in Windows 2003, when you install NPS, you will find that you have opened up yourself to a lot of new functionality.
Here is what NPS does that is the SAME as what IAS offered:
- Routing of LAN and WAN traffic.
- Allow access to local resources through VPN or dial-up connections.
- Creating and enforcing network access through VPN or dial-up connections.
For example, NPS can provide these functions:
- VPN Services
- Dial-up Services
- 802.11 protected access
- Routing & Remote Access (RRAS)
- Offer Authentication through Windows Active Directory
- Control network access with policies
What NPS does that is new are all the functions related to Network Access Protection (NAP). For example – System Health Validators, Remediation Server Groups, Health Polices, and more.
