ℹ️ About NPS DTS-to-CSV Converter
The NPS DTS-to-CSV Converter is a specialized utility for network administrators who manage Microsoft Network Policy Server (NPS). By default, NPS can record authentication and accounting data in a database-compatible XML format known as 'DTS'. While great for databases, these raw XML files are difficult to read and troubleshoot.
Why use this tool?
- Audit Readiness: Easily turn cryptic log fragments into a clean spreadsheet for security audits or compliance reviews.
- Troubleshooting: Quickly filter events by
User-Name,NAS-IP-Address, orPacket-Typein Excel. - Error Analysis: Identify recurring failure patterns, such as NPS Error Code 16 (DTS Log Parser helps identify the specific attribute causing the conflict).
Simply paste a block of <Event> tags from your INxxxx.xml log files, and we will flatten them into a professional CSV structure.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DTS format in NPS?
DTS (Data Transformation Services) is a legacy Microsoft XML format used by NPS to store highly structured RADIUS attributes in a way that is easily importable into SQL Server.
Can this tool handle large log files?
This web-based tool is optimized for log 'snippets' (up to a few hundred events). For multi-gigabyte files, a dedicated command-line parser is recommended.
Does my data leave this server?
The XML is processed on our secure backend to handle the complex parsing. We do not store, log, or share the contents of your NPS logs. They are processed in-memory and immediately discarded.
