Greetings-

Windows Server 2003 domain; single site, WinXP Pro workstations.

Currently, most clients are configured with this setting ON. The setting can be found under the Network Connections Authentication Tab and is called "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network."

Well, this setting is interfering with our Symantec AntiVirus console and being able to access the AV clients. So we want to turn it off.

There is a setting in Group Policy (Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Network>Network Connections> IEEE 802.1x Certificate Authority for Machine Authentication

The explanation for the setting includes this information, "If you disable or do not configure this setting, the Certificate Authority for IEEE 802.1x machine authentication will not be configured on your client."

Well, I've disabled it. Rebooted the client several times, ran the Group Policy Results Wizard on the workstation. It shows that the policy IS being applied, but the setting is still enabled on the PC. Hmmm....



Thanx
OregonSteve
