    Hi,

    When looking at:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754123(WS.10).aspx
    I see in point no. 6 the following statement:
    "To specify which database to connect to on the computer running SQL Server, click Select the database on the server, and then select a database name from the list."

    Question 1: Can I use the ReportServer database? Or must I create a new database?

    Question 2: Then what do I do? how do I view the NAP specific reports?

    Regards,
    Tom

    HI,

    Just an update for the forum.

    I eventually moved to the production environment; where things appear to be working:

    On the DC/DHCP server I installed and configured the NPS Proxy.

    Then installed WS08 R2 on another machine, in hyper-v, and installed SQL 2008 Express Advanced Edition.
    Then installed the NAP Reporting Beta.
    Then installed NPS, and used its wizard to create the SQL db, tables & stored procedures.

    Finaly, things seem to be working as expected :-)
    So thank you all for your feedback and patience.

    I presume the issues I was having were related only to the virtual environment I was testing in.

    Kind regards,
    Tom

    Hi,
     Question 1:
         Generally it is adviced to create new Database for NPS , so it will be easy to take backup or any routine maintence work only for NPS. ReportServer database meant for storing Report server needed information, but still you can use it.
        More information on ReportServer database is available @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156016.aspx

    Thanks

    Hi Tom,

    We have NAP Reporting Beta package with limited functionality. I am happy to give you an access to the reporting beta via MS Connect. Please send me your live ID.  It would help us to hear what are your reporting requirements while we develop the full solution.

    Thanks,
    Sweety Chauhan

    Hi,

    I see that Windows 2008 R2 NPS has this new feature to automatically configure a SQL database, required tables, and store procedure for NPS accounting data.
    All I have done is created a new database called NAP...did not create any Tables or Stored Procedures - dont know how to do that.

    I have not worked with SQL or Reporting Services before - so someone like me would need clearly defined step-by-step guides on how to extract these NAP reports.
    And please don't send me here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb960723(VS.85).aspx - as this is a sample, and I have no idea what to do with it.

    I am basically looking for an idiot's guide on configuring NPS & SQL; and the SQL Reporting Services - to generate NAP reports.

    I need to verify that my SQL logging configuration is correct - as this might be causing my other NAP issue (also in this forum):
    - when I configure NPS to log to SQL, NAP on the client does not work at all. E.g. It reports a machine with no AV and firewall off, as a healthy computer.
    - when I disable the NPS SQL logging, NAP client works as expected. Very weird.

    Sweety - what is your email address so I can send you my contact details.

    Regards,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,

    I've provided some steps for configuring a SQL db, table, and procedure in one of your other threads at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverNAP/thread/188cd4fd-67ff-469f-b968-b6f1c186cf1f.

    Hi,

    Hopefully someone from MS will respond to your query - I am kind of hoping that this NAP Reporting Toolkit will go live soon, cause 90% of the product did not work in the Beta release.

    Unfortunately, the NAP reporting toolkit is no longer available and there is no replacement for it at this time.

    Hi,

    Will Microsoft at least provide some form of guidance on how to view the NAP reports that are stored in SQL?

    Regards
