[SOLVED] Wireless Windows Domain access

I need a bit of help. I have setup a domain in the office and it works fine when using a wired connection, the problem I have occurs when trying to access the domain using a wireless connection.

The client machine is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and the Server is running Windows Server 2008 RC2.

I am able to add machines to the domain wirelessly when they on BUT after the restart I cant logon to the domain wirelessly.



Any ideas?

Re: Wireless Windows Domain access

Hi,

After adding the machine to domain and restarting, login as the login administrator and try to ping your domain controller.

Check the IP address settings ensure that it is on the same network as the domain controller.

Re: Wireless Windows Domain access

The exact message that I get is this:

There are currently no logon servers to service this request.

When you did the above were you connected on the wireless network or the wired network?

Re: Wireless Windows Domain access

When I'm connecting to the domain via cabling... I can ping and logon to the domain. Wirelessly I can ping when logged on to the local machine but cannot log on to the domain...

Re: Wireless Windows Domain access

You need to login as the local admin on the machine and connect to the wireless network (make sure LAN is disconnected) then ping the domain controller.

If you cannot ping the domain controller then that's your problem and we can troubleshoot further..

Re: Wireless Windows Domain access

I have solved this issue... There is a registry tweak that authenticates between the Server and the PC before login.
