NPS 6273 reason 65: network access permission denied on the account

What it means

Event 6273 with reason code 65 โ€” the connection attempt failed because the Network Access Permission setting on the account's Dial-in tab in Active Directory is set to Deny access. This per-account setting is evaluated on top of your network policies, and a legacy 'deny' there overrides an otherwise-matching allow policy.

Common causes

  1. The user or computer account has Deny access set on the Dial-in tab (sometimes inherited from old remote-access era standards or copied account templates).

  2. Accounts are set to Allow/Deny explicitly instead of 'Control access through NPS Network Policy', creating per-account surprises.

How to fix it

  1. In Active Directory Users and Computers, open the account > Dial-in tab and set Network Access Permission to 'Control access through NPS Network Policy' (recommended) or 'Allow access'.

  2. Bulk-fix with PowerShell: Set-ADUser <user> -Replace @{msNPAllowDialin=$true} to allow, or clear the attribute (-Clear msNPAllowDialin) to defer to NPS policy.

  3. Audit for stragglers: search AD for accounts where msNPAllowDialin is explicitly false.
