We use a mix. We have quite a few AD-member computers that use our wireless LAN. These machines also get our wireless configuration GPO that sets all these parameters automatically. These users *will* be logging into the domain as well, so their credentials will be the same. On our student laptops, this is never set intentionally for the same reasons you mention. This mix works quite well for our purposes.

Automatically Use My Windows Credentials- implies that the same user

login to the network, like against AD- which is not always the same (in
our case it is very likey almost never the same as the users set up
their own laptops and give themselves all sorts of exotic and or silly
names and passwords that wouldn't match theur network IDs)

I forgot to mention the most consistant way of connecting to the
network
successfully is to uncheck the "Automatically use my Windows
credentials", but then it doesn't run login scripts, and you have to
have logged on to the computer before.

Dumb question...   In your 802.1x configuration on your Windows
laptops, you *do* have both "Authenticate as a machine..." and
"Automatically use my Windows credentials" enabled, yes?

My problem is there are no cached creditials on the machine.  I don't

even make it as far in to get a pop up box, because as soon as I
select OK I get the error of Domain is unavailable.

On the login box- which is preceeded by "Click here to select a
certificate or other credential" balloon pop-up, we inititially shot

ourselves in the foot somewhat as part of our Novell client build was

a registry tweak to disable such pop ups (this was done long before
.1x was even a twinkle in the eye). That little pop up is critical to

getting the initial login box. And to say credentials are cached
indefinitely may be stretching it- when users change their passwords

in AD (or whatever) the cached credentials then become invalid (just

to be complete).

I would think this would be a RADIUS /IAS Issue. I do ths almost
daily:
 Add a temporary user to AD/ACS/RADIUS and log in with my WZC
utility.
It prompts on the first  login attempt for my uname/pw and to verify

the cert.  However, this box does not often show itself easily and
seems to hide behind any window that happens to be open.  clear all
windows from desktop and during the auth process, continually click
on

the little wireless icon in the task bar.  This seems to force the
window from the realm of invisibility.  Once you do this, it will
cash

the credentials indefinately.  I've had varying degrees of success
with the "clear cached credential" registry change that msoft talks
about...

How to remove cached user credentials that are used for PEAP
authentication in Windows XP

1.  A laptop that belongs to our domain, but the user has never
logged into it before (so no cached creditentials exist) it errors

with the Domain is not available.  If cached creditentials do
exist

then they get logged in.
