Lock Down Server Access

Hello,

We are operating in a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain and I have been asked to lock down access some servers. By lock down I mean there are only 5 administrators that need to be able to access a hand full of servers. These 5 administrators should not be able to access any other servers and none of the other administrators (unless in the domain admins group) should be able to access the servers. I created a security group and added the 5 admin accounts. I've come across documentation that says I need to configure NPS for secure access, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it for the security group. Could anybody point me in the right direction to complete this task.

Thanks in advance.
