Re: did i misunderstand?

Here's a bad answer for you - I have the settings you're looking for, but I
don't know why I have them and you don't. When I go to the GPO you refer to
and add a new policy, then go to add a preferred network, under network
authentication, I have Open, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. If I select WPA, the
encryption options are WEP, TKIP, and AES.

Here's a clue - I'm running SBS SP1, and I'd bet the upgrade is included in
WS03 SP1.
