Greetings-

We just installed Windows 2003 Server SP2 on our 5 domain controllers.
However when we open the Group Policy Management Console and try to create a
wireless policy the options to select "WPA2/WPA2-PSK" and "AES" are not
available. I thought that SP2 for Windows 2003 was supposed to add WPA2
options to wireless LAN policy settings. Are we missing something? Is there a
new admin template we have to install? We installed the latest WPA2 updates
on our Windows XP SP2 clients and can see the option in the local policy, but
not from our server(s) using the GPMC.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know if there will be ADM templates available in the near future that
support deploying WPA2 setting via Group Policy from a Windows 2003 server?

The WPA2 enhancements are not implemented as ADM templates. They are new
DLLs on the client that implement this functionality. If you read
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021/en-us, you'll note that it says that
you can only configure WPA2 GP settings from Vista or Longhorn (Server 2008)
machines. In other words, the MMC extension to configure this policy is only
available on those OS'. I alos confirmed that its not available on Server
2003, SP 2.

Could I copy local Windows XP ADM Templates from the PC to a server so I
can
use the GPMC from the server to manage the WPA2 WLAN policy?

As far as I remember, you need to manage those settings from a
workstation/machine that has a WPA2-capable adapter installed since the
CSE (Client Side Extension) that is responsible for these Group Policy
setting's processing isn't installed.

I currently have no machines to test that but I recommend you manage the
policy from a client machine using GPMC - as far as I can tell, this
behavior seems to be "normal".

cheers,

Florian
