    Here is another link to the SOH protocol specification:

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/5/E/95EF66AF-9026-4BB0-A41D-A4F
    81802D92C/Windows_Communication_Protocols.zip

    This link will download a zip file containing all the publically
    available Microsoft communications protocol specifications. If you're
    going to read the SOH spec, it's helpful to have the entire collection
    as the SOH spec contains relative links to other documents in the
    collection, such as the MS-PEAP and MS-HCEP protocols used as transports
    by SOH.

    Subject: IDS> NAP Statement of Health (SOH) link

    It is advised that devices who want to become interoperable with NAP
    implement the Statement of Health (SOH) for NAP. The protocol is
    documented
    here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246924.aspx

    Microsoft NAP provides a means for third parties to define, measure and
    cause action based on the health of the device. Third party services
    that
    implement the SOH need to define what it means for a device to be
    healthy,
    based on what they feel is important to secure and what is possible to
    measure.

    Administrators have the ability to allow non-SOH capable devices to
    participate in a NAP controlled environment by placing such devices on
    exception lists. Exceptions may introduce increased security risks to a
    given network.

    I can go into (slightly) more detail on Thursday.

    Thanks,
    Erhan
