Use the NAP Evaluation page in the Configuration Manager 2007 Deploy Software Updates Wizard to specify whether the software updates in this deployment are required for compliance when using Network Access Protection (NAP). Enable NAP evaluation to include the software updates 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.
