NPS stands for Network Policy Server. It is included among the NPAS server role as well as HRA or Health Registration Authority and HCAP or Host Credential Authorization Protocol. NPAS or Network Policy and Access Services is a component of Microsoft Windows Server 2008. It is a replacement for the IAS or Internet Authentication Service from Windows Server 2003.

NPAS helps in protecting the health and security of a network. IAS is the Microsoft implementation of a RADIUS server or the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service in Windows Server 2003. IAS was renamed to NPS in Windows Server operating systems after Windows Server 2003. In Windows Server 2008, NPAS is a role service which can function as RADIUS server, RADIUS proxy, and Network Access Protection policy server.

NPSEE allows the use of heterogeneous set of remote access, switch, wireless, or VPN equipment. You can use NPS using the Routing and Remote Access service available in Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter editions.
