Microsoft Cloud PKI

Cisco ISE with Microsoft Cloud PKI | Community Article

Microsoft Credential Guard

Credential Guard isolates secrets (credentials) so that only privileged system software can access them. The Native Supplicant in Windows is not considered privileged system software and therefore it blocks the 802.1X supplicant's access to username+password credentials and fails EAP-MSCHAPv2 authentications. If this is causing problems for your organization's network access, your options are:

Keep Credential Guard enabled and use EAP-TLS, PEAP-TLS, or TEAP with digital certificates
Disable Credential Guard and continue using MSCHAPv2
Cisco Secure Client (CSC), formerly AnyConnect as your 802.1X supplicant. The CSC/AnyConnect Network Access Module (NAM) is considered privileged system software and will therefore continue to work for MSCHAPv2 even with Credential Guard enabled.

Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM)

Microsoft recently brought both Config Manager and Intune together into Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM).

Microsoft Entra ID
