Re: SBS Wireless policy

Andy:

My working hypothesis is that these errors are occurring because wireless
authentication is not working properly so the laptop cannot contact the DC.

If you connect the laptop WIRED, do the errors NOT occur? I will be concerned
if they do.

Another thing you can try (a little more work): Change the WAP's SSID, make
sure SSID broadcast is enabled, and reconfigure the WAP to WPA-PSK rather than
RADIUS. Select a simple pre-shared key (this is a test only). Then see if the
laptop can connect to the SBS domain using the new SSID. IAS, GPOs, etc. are
now out of the picture; the WAP should act as a simple bridge once the PSK has
been validated. If you still can't connect, you may have a hardware, firmware,
or driver issue.

Sorry for all my posts today but I wanted to post this message from the
client:

Description:
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. A message
that describes the reason for this was previously logged by the policy
engine.

So the laptop can't connect to the domain controller, but is that
because IAS has already denied the connection, or is that why the
appropritate rule isn't being hit (Wireless LAN policy..)
