This is probably the exact idea I was looking for. Judging by what I read here, it is the plan I'm using. I bounced the idea off another person on my staff and we agreed that this is our plan. thanks for your valued input.

it seems something is still missing. all the settings took but it's still not authenticating.

Look at the event log on your NPS server and see if it's being accepted or denied, and the reason.

looks like Null SSID in the log, I believe that's the correct event.

I am totally new to the radius server aspect of authentication with cisco devices. I recently followed some instructions and setup the basic working structure of Radius NPS on a server 2008 r2 server. I haven't setup any groups or machines to authenticate to this server. The deal is I just want my cisco devices to authenticate with domain admin accounts (non cac card). So do I start now on my switches and router setting up AAA authentication etc? or do I need to do more to my server first. Like I said above, I haven't configured any groups or machines or anything beyond a basic Network Policy Server install.

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Network Management

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.
