Problem creating GPO for Internet Authentication Services

I am running SBS 2003 Premium and am trying to configure a Cisco 1100 Aironet wireless access point to use with the Windows Radius server. Here is what I have done so far:

1. Configured the Cisco 1100 with a static local IP, enabled WPA with RADIUS server authentication with TKIP encryption.

2. On the SBS server, I have installed the HotFix 811233 to allow WPA support, installed and configued Certificate Services and cofigured IAS to recognize the wireless access point. Additionally, I have configured the IAS wireless remote access policy and logging.

3. Created a Group Policy object ("Computer Wireless LAN Policy").  Created a Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) policy.

Under the properties of the Wireless Network policy, I have two tabs (General and Preferred Networks). General is set to all the defaults. Here is the problem: When I go to the Preferred Networks tab and click "Add", nothing happens. No error message or any indication that there is something amiss. I can ping the Cisco 1100 and browse to it's configuration page with no problem, but it will not show up in the Preferred Networks tab. Is there a misconfiguration on the AP or is it something else?

Thank you.

Did you rerun the Configure Email and Internet Connection Wizard after making all those changes in 1 & 2 above?  ALWAYS a good idea.

No, I haven't rerun the CEICW yet. I will do that first thing in the morning. Do you think that would make a difference?
Well, just reran the wizard and no joy.
Post the config on your AP.  Theres a good bit of configuration that needs to be done on the ap, the client and the server.

Actually, in rereading your question, and then going myself to the Wireless Policy Properties, I see what you are now having a problem with.  It's here:  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0703.mspx

Make sure that the user account which you are logged into the server under is a member of the Group Policy Creator Owners Security Group.  This is probably what's prohibiting you from finishing up that GPO.  I generally use the built-in administrator account for configuring GPOs.

I am logged on as admin. Thanks!
Youre aironet config looks good. Do the clients trust your CA? Also, how do you have your policies in IAS set up.

Cole
You may need to reinstall the Small Business Server administrative tools if they've become corrupted. (No action when clicking that button sounds as if they could be).  This would be done through add/remove programs > Windows Small Business Server 2003.

On the Component Selection screen, change Server Tools to "maintenance" and Administrative Tools to "uninstall" and finish out the wizard.  Then, go back to the same place but change Administrative Tools to "install".  Reapply SBS SP1.

If you have't installed SBS SP1 yet, you would set Administrative Tools to "reinstall" and only run the install wizard once.

This can't hurt to try.

Hi, Jeff:

Followed your above instructions and rebooted. No luck. Drat!
Have you installed Service Pack 1 yet?

Jeff
TechSoEasy
Not yet.
I just want to confirm with you -- even though you said you are logged on as "admin" can you make sure that the admin is a member of Group Policy Creator Owners Security Group?
