machine based 802.1x-authentication on Windows Vista / XP SP3

[Guest paulreims@gmail.com]

Hello,

I want to enable machine based 802.1x authentication ou our network,

using the certificate distributed by our own Windows-PKI.

 

For Windows XP SP2, we found the solution to do it via the GUI(anyone

can point me to the correct GPO-Settings?).

For Windows Vista, the only solution seems to be to do it via an XML

file as discribed in KB 929847(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929847/

en-us). is there any easier way to configure this and a possibility to

configure this via GPO?

 

 

Thanx in advance

Best regards

The KB you're referring to is to disable user auth and such.

For starters, check
