Should I have the Network Access Protection Agent Service to start automatically on Windows 8?

Hello!

While I was looking for a completely different setting in Control Panel in Windows 8, I came across the center of the Action settings and noticed that the Agent of network access Protection service is not running. I open the computer management snap-in and noticed that the service is configured by default must be started manually. I looked for more information on the internet but I wasn't able to find a detailed explanation about his goal for a personal computer. The only explanation I found applied only to Windows Server.

Is it really necessary to configure this service to start automatically on a home network, or can it be just left set to start manually? What is its use on Windows 8? Is this just in case the computer needs to access a network of business domain?

I am running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit edition on an Acer Aspire 5552-5898 connected most of the time in my network domestic, although usually I connect to public networks. My computer is not configured to connect to a domain on a corporate network, not even using VPN. When I access my e-mail from this computer company account, I first need to authenticate with a code provided by RSA device before I can connect to Outlook (OWA).

See you soon!

Hi Cspork,

Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community!

You have reached the right forum. Try to solve this problem.

As I understand it, in the center of the Action the officer of Access Protection settings network service does not work.

The network access Protection agent service collects and manages health information for client computers on a network. The information collected by the NAP agent are used to ensure that the client computer has the required software and settings. If a client computer is not compatible with the health policy, it can be equipped with restricted network access until their configuration is updated. Depending on the configuration of health policies, client computers may be automatically refreshed allowing users to quickly regain full network access without having to manually update the computer.

The service can be left to be set to start manually.

It is especially where the computer needs to access a network of business domain.

Hope the helps of information. Don't answer if you need assistance, we will be happy to help you.

  • How to enable the network access Protection?

    How can I activate on the network access Protection, he tells me it's off and that it must be manufactured on. So please can you me how to enable Network Access Protection?

    You don't need to turn it on. Network access protection is a feature that for use in business and companies to make sure that only clients which are safe and meet certain security requirements could access the network location. It is something that will be in service by admin in a company if wanted.

    If your PC is part of the domain network and it is part of the company contact your admin to ask if this feature is applicable. Otherwise, don't need to worry about this. This is just to inform you about the status of the PAN and you don't need to do anything.

    Maybe it's because the service related to network access Protection must be disabled.
