I know. The problem is that if you use a GPO for Visa and Windows 7 you can tell it "Don't automatically connect", so essentially you're setting up the profile but the user connects manually.
For XP, for some stupid reason, that option isn't there in the GPO, so if I use the GPO to push the settings to my XP clients they get the setting, but they also connect to the SSID automatically whenever they're in range, even if they're also plugged in via a cable at their desks. I can't rely on telling them to flick the wireless toggle. ________________________________ From: Damien Solodow [damien.solo...@harrison.edu] Sent: 08 August 2011 6:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Wireless Authentication - Computer account vs. User account?

Damn, I said SP2 didn't I - I meant SP3 (barring a few x64 machines). ________________________________ From: Damien Solodow [damien.solo...@harrison.edu] Sent: 08 August 2011 5:56 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Wireless Authentication - Computer account vs. User account? As I recall, XP SP3 included a number of updates related to Wireless authentication and I think it resolves that issue.

On the off-chance that it could save me a lot of reading, does any know if there is a way to force Windows XP to authenticate to an 802.11 wireless system using the computer account and not the account of the logged on user? It seems that Windows 7 does this by default, Vista can be made to do so via GPO, but XP SP2 doesn't seem to play quite so nicely. I'm not too familiar with 802.11 and IAS but the wireless controller is authenticating against IAS on a Windows 2003 box. Everything works perfectly when domain credentials or computer credentials are passed, the issue seems to be forcing XP to pass computer creds.
