The IAS Accounting Clients performance object is installed by the Internet Authentication Service (IAS). IAS uses the Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) protocol to perform remote authentication. IAS performance objects report activity for servers or clients, including user authentication, authorization, and accounting (usage).
When selecting counters for this object, note that each client is a separate instance.
