Hi
I have a problem authenticating clients and users on my network with Windows
Server 2008 Network Policy Server.
I have 1 server running Windows Server 2008 Datacenter (192.168.23.1;
Computer name is PROXIMA) with:
Active Directory (Primary Domain Controller)
DNS
DHCP (Scrope: 192.168.23.x; Subnet: 255.255.255.0)
NPS
Routing and Remote Access - VPN and NAT server
My client computers are running Windows Vista Ultimate (Computer names MARS
and VULPECULA).
I have 2 Connection Request Policies in Network Policy Server:
* Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service Policy - Enabled - Order: 1 -
Source: Remote Access Server (VPN-Dail up)
* Use Windows authentication for all users - Enabled - Order: 100000 -
Source: Unspecified
My clients cannot get any connection with the server when the Use Windows
authentication for all users is set to the following:
Forwarding Connection Request: Authentication is set to Authenticate
requests on this server.
In the event viewer I get the following message:

If I change the Use Windows authentication for all users policy to to:
Accept users without validating credentials
then it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
