If NPS finds a policy whose conditions match the connection request, NPS uses the matching policy and the dial-in properties of the user account to perform authorization. When NPS performs the authorization of a connection request, it compares the request with each network policy in the ordered list of policies, starting with the first policy, and then moving down the list of configured policies. You can use this procedure to configure a new network policy in either the NPS console or the Remote Access console. Network Policy Server (NPS) uses network policies and the dial-in properties of user accounts to determine whether a connection request is authorized to connect to the network. You can use this topic to configure network policies in NPS. Applies to: Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016
