I am working on setting up two NPS servers in active active state, one in each DC. I couldn't find in the documentation about the minimum server requirements to setup NPS on a Windows Server or any pre-requisites.

Hence, can someone please advise on that ?

Also is there any recommendation on which Windows server (2016 or 2019) is the most preferred server for setting up NPS ?

    Hi ,

    As far as I know, there is no such minimum software/hardware requirements to install NPS on Microsoft Server. You can install NPS role on server 2016 or server 2019.

    The following article talking about an overview of Network Policy Server in Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2019, you can have a look:

    Network Policy Server (NPS)

    The following article talking about Network Policy Server Best Practices, like the best practices for performance tuning NPS and the best practices for using NPS in large organizations:

    Network Policy Server Best Practices

    Hope this can help you understand better, if you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

    Best Regards,

    Candy
