How do I push software to 7/XP wireless clients through a GPO?
Hello,
We are running Windows 7 and XP clients in a Windows 2003/2008 environment, using IAS for wireless authentication. When attempting to push down software through a GPO, the installation never works on the wireless clients, probably due to authentication timing issues. Is there a way to delay the logon so that the wireless clients can pick up to GPO? I was told that there was a .DLL that could do this. Is anyone aware of it?

You need to have the clients logging into the wireless network as they are logging into the computer/domain. Somtimes this requires the use of software from your wireless card's manufacturer (Intel ProSet Wireless), but can usually be done in Windows 7 using single sign on. Go to the Network and Sharing Center and click Manage wireless networks. Right click on your office's wireless network and click Properties. On the Security tab, click Advanced Settings. You should see an option to enable single sign on. You want to perform it immediately before logon. If each employee has different credentials for the wireless network, you also need to allow additional dialogs to be displayed during single sign on. When you reboot your machine you should see not only a form for your domain username and password, but also your wireless credentials.
