NPS - help me to understand AD registration pls

Hi,

We have four NPS servers that are not registered in AD. We use NPS servers for WiFi authentication; we have only one network policy for granting access to the network, the authentication option is PEAP.

My question is: will be the peap-authorization broken if I'll register all of the NPS servers in AD? Should the NPS server start verifying user credentials by default?

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that if the NPS(PEAP) still work after joining stand along NPS server to AD domain.

In general, certificate should be considered if switch NPS(certificate based) between work group and domain. And based on my experience, it should works if registry NPS to an domain:

Hi,

My NPS roles are installed on domain controllers.

Thanks!

After registering, should I enable "ignore user account dial-in properties" option?
