Re: GPO

Hi Neil,

In your response nr - -GPOs will only apply to users and/or machines which
exist within the
domain.-- John -- I can understand this but how does AD know if its a
domain computer or not if we have non domain computers enter the wireless
network such as sales people who have a laptop with a wireless card.

The point I'm trying to get at is does Windows hand out a IP for a split
minute to all machines to get a chance to authenticate and check its
membership before handing out the GPO and disconnecting if its not a Domain
member

I want to offer wireless automatic configuration to my domain windows users
using MS IAS radius server but not use Certificate services

Thank you,

Juan Ruiz
