In addition, note that the NAC 800 no longer supports Microsoft NT or 98 clients.

SMB Signing

The NAC 800 can now connect to Microsoft endpoints that require SMB signing when the agentless test method is selected. When SMB signing is enabled, the Windows Server and the Windows workstation verify each packet they exchange.

Deep Check Testing

For hotfix tests, the NAC 800 checks the endpoint’s registry to verify that the specified hotfix is applied on the endpoint. You can now select deep check to have the NAC 800 verify that hotfix files have been installed on the endpoint as well.
