#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : 802.1X or VPN authentication fails at NPS -- reason codes 16, 23, 48 and 265 Fix : Get a policy to match Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/srv-app-nps-radius Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 35 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Reason code 48. HOW TO UNDO IT Policy order and membership changes are reversible in the NPS console. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
