how to configure WLAN in order to logon to a domain with windows l

Gentlemen,

does anyone have a cookbook how to configure WLAN in order to logon to a
domain with windows logon?

 

Most wireless adapters are not "activated" until you make it to the
Desktop,...since you have no "connection" before that point you can not
login, can't get to the Desktop, the adapter isn't activated, and you get no
connection.

So,...you have to login first with the machine on a wired connection. Your
profile will be created on the machine and you can from that point on login
with the cached profile, get to the Desktop, the nic gets activated, and the
connection gets established after the fact. It's kinda like closing the
barn door after the horse comes back in.

I would love for this to have a better solution, but the manufactures of the
wireless Nics seem to be focused entirely on "home users" and don't seem to
think this is something that needs dealt with.

This has to be repeated for every user that will be using the machine if
they have never logged into the machine before.

If this is not your situation you will have to explain it better. It is hard
to make a judgment about a situation with only a one-sentence post.

http://www.microsoft.com/wifi is our landing page for detailed information
on wireless networking. Included are step-by-step guides on building a
wireless network where both the computer and the user can authenticate over
the wireless network.

 

Hi
If it is a Domain that belongs to someone else you have to get the specific
configuration and logon credentials from the Doman's Network manager.
If you are planning on your own Domain, it is a very long story and beyond
the scope of a Newsgroup. You should seek professional help for such matter.

Hi Steve!
It's been a while (met when I was in the ISA/Security-MVP program).
There is a ton of links on that page,...is the any particular one that
addresses this particular issue? Nothing jumps out at me when I scanned down
the page.

You need to hang around these groups some more so I can learn some new stuff

I'm having an issue with a client who has a new Inspiron, a 2K3 domain,
and an inability to logon to his domain ("cannot be found" error).
Could you point out a link to follow that would help with that? Both
he and I would sorely appreciate it.

Thanks
