Wondering the best way to implement RADIUS into my environment.

(I do have a "spare" 2012R2 server ready (For NPS Service and CA if needed))Seriously? 2003? You know MS dumped support for that a few years ago? No more security updates.
Sounds like he, too, is an IT Cowboy. We're a dying breed. But those of us still around have proved our mettle on the ol' dusty trail of tears. Also, Vista.
Getting ready to P2V 5 old production servers that I've been putting off for too long. During an online day. That's right, I'm the IT Cowboy.
ETA: Me.

Sounds like you have everything you need already.

Please stop talking about lunch. I am hungry!
OK, how about breakfast then? Eating a few hardboiled eggs 
@gjacobse sorry for the delay, but sorrier still for these terrible pictures. Since you prudes only care about seeing "the device" I decided to leave my chiseled physique out of the frame.
Magic keyboard:
So I look important:
Gigabytez:
Plugz:
Chillin' on the lil' ghetto couch I made for it:
In "da club" aka "server room"
Windows Store really blows compared to iOS:

@crustachio
I only have one minor request..Could you plug it all up and take a photo of it? Power, USB drive and such..
Thanks.
Sure. What should I be wearing?
@IRJ no, but I haven't used it long enough to have noticed how long the charges take. The stock charger is 2.0A, which is about as good as it gets for USB charging. Well, there are 2.1A chargers, but I don't think that would make a noticeable difference. Keep in mind it is a 4,000mAh battery, so it's not going to charge nearly as quickly as the average smartphone (with a 1,500-2,500 mAh battery) no matter what.
Thankfully micro USB chargers are ubiquitous in my life so I am never far from one ten. I just leave stuff plugged in unless I'm going walkabout.
@scottalanmiller I'm just razzin yer berries. I'm a closet Anglophile myself.

I try to write in the Queen's English as much as possible. Having worked in global finance and finding out that those outside of the US often think that American's are illiterate not realizing that they have "intentional alternative spellings" changes how you think about your writing style. Americans pretty much all know that everyone else has different spellings and know that they are taught American spellings in school. Even Canadians are often surprised to learn this and truly just think most Americans have no idea how to spell. So... I try to avoid the Americanisms.
Interesting perspective. So you're an American who doesn't like foreign stereotypes about American spelling, but you prefer to reinforce those stereotypes by adopting the foreign spellings of valid American English words?

Kiss my cloud!
Check on the cloud on her.
And so forth.
Sounds a bit nebulous.
Belated update... I got my Chuwi. Had some teething pains related to WiFi. Didn't realize this guy doesn't have a 5GHz radio, so I had to reconfigure my office WAP to broadcast 2.4 + 5GHz and enable bandwidth steering so other devices maintain 5GHz connectivity.
Now that that is sorted out, this is a darling little tablet. Screen isn't quite bright enough for my tastes, but it is otherwise punchy, sharp and colorful, with nice viewing angles. The touchscreen is very responsive as well.
The device is surprisingly lightweight due to the plastic casing, but it feels well put together. The size is pretty great, easily usable one handed and typing isn't too difficult. And W10 is way better for a tablet of this size than any previous Windows version.
I haven't done any heavy lifting in regards to app performance, but it seems snappy and gets out of its own way. The Android switching process is simple (desktop shortcut from within Windows causes a shutdown and reboot into Android; from Android, swipe down from the top-right corner of the status bar and tap OS Switch). I haven't spent much time in Android though, as it's not particularly noteworthy.
The #1 killer feature of this guy (besides price), for me, is the USB OTG support. It comes bundled with a Micro USB to USB female OTG adapter, meaning you can plugin any standard USB devices and Windows sees them as expected. I'm sure power will be an issue with anything bigger, like portable HDDs, but for most small peripherals it works great.
I have successfully tested (from within Windows) a 32GB thumb drive. a USB 3 hub/Gigabit Ethernet LAN adapter, and -- most excitingly -- a USB to serial adapter. So this + PuTTY == portable network troubleshooting toolkit.
I'll keep toying with it for a few days. I'll need a decent case/stand for it if I continue to use it. For now I rigged up a cardboard+foam+electrical tape desk stand. Paired with a Logitech K810 Bluetooth keyboard, it's working just fine.
Thanks for the tip. I think I can call it: Chuwi is the Archangel to Dell's Satanic Venue. Heck, it's even pure white vs Dell's morbid black. I think it's a $99 winner.
You guys. The Cloud to Butt plugin makes this thread hysterical.

The bottom line is that this is very basic knowledge. You can say that people are taught wrong, and I agree. But the levels of responsibility here are big.
It is most certainly not very basic knowledge. Most IT people do not even know how basic encryption works and have no chance ti understand why a complex password is not better than a simple one.
Let alone getting into anyone outside of IT.
Very sad that it's true.
Everyone repeat after me. The number one rule of doing encryption is, do no write your own! Most security researchers I know say to trust the math and just use encryption libraries someone else has already written. That's how hard it is to get right.
But I got this thing free in a cereal box!
