Any ideas where I am going wrong here?

Pull out the sensitive info from the thread :-)

The NPS doesn't trust the cert you're providing as credentials.

Where did your client and NPS get their certificate from?

Hi Craig,

good point, I dont seem to be able to find where to edit my question.

Anyway, my radius service is running on its own win 2012 server, separate to my DC.

I installed a certificate authority on the radius server, but from there on, i didn't know much about configuring it.

so any certificate config is probably incomplete on my part...and tips for me?

thanks

Hi Craig,

I noticed, that if the computer is actually on the domain, then this trusts the certificate; then I can join the laptop to the wireless. (as long as the user logged in to the laptop is in the relevant security group to authenticate.)

The Microsoft recommended deployment sounds good, and maybe once I have done playing around with this to get to grips with it, I will set this up again on the DC.

We have two wireless networks broadcast from the same AP's, one network routes to a VLAN which uses a separate ADSL connection (for guests etc) ... and another network that uses our corporate VLAN, and gives domain network access.

I would like to be able to force domain laptops to use encrypted authentication (like single sign on) which, so far I have successfully configured...

but would also like to configure the policy so that, any laptops that are not in a security group, are forced on to our ADSL VLAN so they are routed out of our network.

Does this sound possible?

thanks
