If it's a thinclient, isn't it running firmware or something else that you are probably not going to be able to load anything onto (the endpoint) component anyways?

I would look into some sort of authentication to lock the ports down. If there's no real O/S on the client endpoint then there's little point in loading any kind of posture-checking... there won't be a posture to check.

Hi,

An enterprise customer of mine is replacing all workstations/PCs in their
network with thin-clients.

They require a NAC-like solution, one that provides posture assessments and
remediation for the thin-client users.

AFAIK, Cisco's present NAC offering doesnt seem to fit into this requirement
here (posture assessment for terminal services-like workstations). The
required solution would have to assess the various user virtual systems for
compliance (patches, viruses, etc) before allowing them to operate.

Please let me know if you have deployed a posture assessment and remediation
solution for this kind of scenario?

Links would also be appreciated.

Regards,

Felix
