Re: Wireless network w/ SBS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

RADIUS only needs to be supported in the access points. It seems like it
often is supported in the newer ones - I bought a professional-grade 3Com
for here for about $175, but my home Linksys supports it for about $50.

You won't be able to get the wired equivalent experience without
certificates because without them, as you say, nothing happens until the
user logs in.

You can go here to find wireless equipment with various features - check WPA
Enterprise or WPA2 Enterprise (I'd recommend the latter if you're purchasing
new hardware)

doesn't support Radius.

If you get the how-to document from SBS MVP Owen Williams and configure
your wireless as described, you'll have "wired equivalent." The client
PC will authenticate prior to user login, so everything will work as it
does with the wired clients. There's no software to buy for this, but
it's some work to get configured and working - the security is pretty
much as good as it gets with wireless (WPA2 would be a little more secure
due to better encryption. Coming in WS03 SP2). You do need to make sure
it's supported in all of your wireless hardware - see the document for
info.

I have a SBS server install and several clients are connected to a
wireless network. My concern is that it seems as the wireless network
card doesn't actually make connection until after the user logs into the
desktop so I'm concerned that domain authentication and hardware group
policy settings aren't going to work. Is this a real concern? Is there
anything that can be done if it is?

This is a small network using a simple linksys wireless router. We use
WPK personal keys to secure the wireless but we are in an isolated
location so even that lever of security isn't necessary.

Any thoughts?
