I had the pleasure of configuring the Network Policy and Access Services role on a Windows Server 2008 machine a while ago. I did run into a small problem: the machine has only one Ethernet port, and the configuration wizard for NPAS wants you to select two different interfaces, one Internet-facing and one internally-facing.
(It didn't help that the initial NPAS configuration wizard was really hard to find. You have to right-click the server icon under the NPAS role and choose "Configure and Set Up", not pick it from the Action menu.)
The solution is to choose the Custom role configuration in that first wizard page. All the other combinations of installed features will ask for two different interfaces. After choosing Custom, just tick the boxes for all the features you need. All your network interfaces (the single real one, any fake virtualized ones, the loopback one, and an "internal" one) will be automatically detected and added. All non-loopback and non-internal interfaces will support NPAS, so you might need to disable it on some if you don't want it messing with your virtual machines.
