Full enforcement is one of the three primary phases of a NAP deployment. With full enforcement, noncompliant computers are denied access to the network. This phase introduces the greatest impact to users. By this stage of the deployment, you should fully understand the reporting data so that the business impact of restricting noncompliant computers can be anticipated and appropriate resources are in place. It is critical that you monitor daily NAP statistics and trends during this stage.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
