Microsoft 11982 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Network Access Protection is a platform for Microsoft Windows Server Longhorn (now in beta testing) and Windows Vista that provides policy enforcement components to help ensure that computers connecting to a network meet administrator-defined requirements for system health. Internet Protocol security (IPsec) is a set of Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards that provides cryptographic protection for IP-based traffic. This document provides an overview of the Network Access Protection platform and IPsec, and how IPsec Enforcement in the Network Access Protection platform works to provide system health policy enforcement for IPsec-protected communication.

Microsoft 11982 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Network Access Protection (NAP) is a health policy creation, enforcement, and remediation technology that is included in Microsoft Windows Vista (now in beta testing) and Windows Server Code Name "Longhorn" (now in beta testing). With NAP, system administrators can enforce health requirements, which can include software requirements, security update requirements, required computer configurations, and other settings. This paper describes how to create a test lab for NAP with the virtual private network (VPN) enforcement method using the Beta 2 releases of Windows Vista and Windows Server Longhorn.

Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET Books Online CTP

Microsoft 11982 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Synchronization Services lets you synchronize data from disparate sources over two-tier, N-tier, and service-based architectures. Instead of only replicating a database and its schema, the Synchronization Services application programming interface (API) provides a set of components to synchronize data between data services and a local store. Applications are increasingly used on mobile clients, such as portable computers and devices, that do not have a consistent or reliable network connection to a central server. It is important for these applications to work against a local copy of data on the client. Equally important is the need to synchronize the local copy of the data with a central server when a network connection is available. The Synchronization Services API is modeled after the ADO.NET data access APIs and gives you an intuitive way to synchronize data. It makes building applications for occasionally connected environments a logical extension of building applications where you can depend on a consistent network connection.
