Is there any way to get access to the Network before user log in, in Windows Machine. We are using ISE 2.6 and currently Outer Methods is Eap-fast and Inner is Eap-Mschap. We are using any connect 4.9.04043 & XML Profile what we have created did not enabled Machine Auth.
Our Main objective is to get machine access to the network before login & after Logout so that user will have privilege to Change the Windows Domain Credentials, or when the user forgets the Windows AD credential the AD team can reset the password directly from the AD but to have an effect of that Machine Should be in Network.
Note - After User Logout Any-connect Disable the Network Access also we are not using Posturing in our Environment.

@RohitSingh91693 the best thing to do would be to enable Machine Authentication in the AnyConnect NAM XML profile. Alternatively you could use MAB to provide access, you'll have to create a new ISE authorisation rule to permit this and ensure MAB is enable on the switchports. MAB is less secure that 802.1x, which is why I recommend enabling machine authentication.

The condition for authorization may be as simple as to verify the endpoint is in the Domain Computers group. Or, you may use the "Test User" tool in ISE to look up the groups.

Rob i can do that, but the problem is how the machine will be authenticate and get access to the network, is it based on hostname or do i have any condition. There are over 6 BU's over here as well and all of them are in different subnets i.e different vlans ?
Following below points i need to clear first.
1. AD team does not have the list of hostnames in their database with them also i do not have option inside Eap chaining option as condition that states .. Machine & User both failed.
2. Earlier during implementation eap-tls would recommended as an inner method & PKI was taken care by the AD team ( which they failed to setup and could not do it ) afterwards unintentionally i did hopped over to MS-chap to be the inner method.
Here what i want to ask how do i make a Condition in Authorization policy set as because I do not want to have any dependency on the AD team, as because i do not get any proper response from them that's the reason why i am asking.
How will i make a Condition for Authorization in policy set after enabling Machine Auth. Using Xml profile editor.

adding to other note - You can have Cert based authentication (if the environment support) and ISE put in different VLAN for this activity, if your environment have PKI)
