Have you tried running the GP Results Wizard from GPMC against one of those
machine to see where it thinks its getting wireless policy from?

Ok.

 

Checked Wireless policy settings on Default Domain Policy and the one I
created. No Wireless policies are defined in either.

Checked the local Laptop policies, none defined there.

 

We have a Radius server on one of the DC's, nothing is defined there,
however, I can un-join the laptop from the domain and I can manipulate the
wireless settings on the laptop normally. Once we re-join, that ability goes
away.

 

I'm stumped by this one.

Yes, XP, SP1+ only (and server 2003) support processing Wireless policy.
Additionally, you need Server 2003's AD schema in place (if you have a Win2K
AD infrastructure) because there are some 2003 schema updates that are
required to support Wireless policy.

Darren will that policy only apply to machines running Windows XP?

Also, if you're on XP, you don't see Wireless Policy appear by default in
the GP Editor--only on Server 2003. Not sure why they didn't back-port the
MMC editor for Wireless policy to XP, but there you go. If you go to my site
at http://www.gpoguy.com/FAQs.htm and do a Find on the word "wireless", I
describe how you can get wireless policy to appear in the GP editor on XP.

I believe you are referring to IAS, New Remote Access Policy Wizard... and
select the "Wireless" policy type option - or edit an existing IAS Remote
Access "Wireless" policy

Ladies and Gents,

 

One of our former employees, that will remain nameless, forgot to document
his GP changes.

 

We have several wireless laptop computers that, we as admins, would like to
be able to change the Wireless parameters as the need presents itself. I've
researched and discovered there "should be" a Wireless Settings Policy under
the Computer Config/Windows Settings/Security Settings area. but we do not
seem to have that on our domain or local policies.

 

1.      How to we access it so I can create a new policy to unblock the
settings for Wireless configurations. 

 

Thanks,

Tom
