do you have restrictions in place via policy that prohibit access to the 
properties of a LAN (and RAS) connection and the advanced properties?  run a 
gpresult /v > gp.txt and see.

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
