Use the NAP Evaluation tab in the Configuration Manager 2007 software update name properties dialog box to specify whether the software update is required for compliance when using Network Access Protection (NAP). Enable NAP evaluation to include the software update in a NAP policy that will become effective on NAP-capable clients based on the configured schedule.

When the policy becomes effective, NAP-capable clients might have restricted access until they comply with the selected software update. Network restriction and remediation is dependent on how the policies are configured on the Windows Network Policy Server. This setting can be configured only on the site that is highest in the hierarchy with an active software update point

Note
This tab is not displayed when opening the properties for multiple software updates or when the NAP agent is not enabled on the site.
