NPS and Domain Controller Communication

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

Network Policy Server (NPS) contacts domain controllers to perform authentication and authorization for connection requests received from configured RADIUS clients. If NPS cannot contact domain controllers, it cannot perform authentication and authorization, and network access authentication will fail.
