A legacy environment uses Network Access Protection (NAP) with DHCP enforcement. Clients must have Windows Firewall enabled and antivirus installed and up to date. Noncompliant clients should be placed on a restricted network where they can reach WSUS and antivirus update servers for remediation. Which two actions should you take on the NPS?

Correct answer: Create a Health Policy that uses the Windows Security Health Validator (WSHV) requiring Windows Firewall enabled and antivirus installed/up to date., Create a Remediation Server Group containing WSUS and antivirus update servers and reference it in the noncompliant Network Policy..
Why this is the answer
To implement the specified NAP requirements, you must first define what constitutes a healthy client. This is achieved by creating a Health Policy that utilizes the Windows Security Health Validator (WSHV). The WSHV allows you to configure requirements such as an enabled Windows Firewall and up-to-date antivirus software. Next, for noncompliant clients to remediate themselves, they need access to specific update servers. You create a Remediation Server Group on the NPS server, listing the WSUS and antivirus update servers. This group is then referenced in the Network Policy that applies to noncompliant clients, ensuring they are directed to the restricted network with access to these remediation resources. The other options are incorrect because: Configuring 802.1X enforcement is for port-based authentication, not directly for NAP health validation in a DHCP enforcement scenario. Replacing DHCP enforcement with IPsec enforcement changes the entire NAP enforcement method, which is not what the question asks for. Enabling quarantine on a VPN server and disabling NAP on DHCP scopes is for VPN-based NAP, not DHCP-based NAP.
