Re: Wireless network group policy...no WPA2

Nevermind my previous post, I understood what you meant. Download adminpack
and GPMC to my XP console. I did that, but still no WPA2 even on my XP
console which has WPA2 because I am connected to our WPA2 network right now.

The Schema must be extended to support it under AD. Sorry I didn't mention
that crucial step even with SP3!

Will that schema extension allow me to configure a WPA2 Wireless Network GPO
through GPMC on a XP SP3 machine?

Or do I NEED a Vista client in order to get the ability to setup a WPA2
config in the GP?

I did it with an XP SP2 client. The Schema updates allows WPA2 no matter
what client. If you have a Vista client, compare the settings while viewing
a GPO with an XP client. I believe they will have the same options.
