That was going to be my next move, mirror the switchport the AP is plugged into & take a capture of the auth attempt. (I'll do that tomorrow morning)
Like I said I'm coming into this a bit after the fact & didn't do the initial setup, but yes the cert is self signed & generated using Microsoft CA (I'll look into the settings further though), the clients are all Vista btw. As far as the network, it's flat with layer 3 routing only in the core switch, each building is on it's own vlan, but the wireless vlan is the same no matter what building you are in, as far as AD goes there's only one site, each building is an OU under that. I'm more of a Linux\Unix guy so I'm a bit light in the AD end of things, I think it might be something to do with policy, but according to the systems engineer you should be getting the same policy no matter where you go. Thanks much for the help!
