I have recently configured my 2008 Server to act as a Radius Server for the Aruba 620 Controlled Wireless network we are using. I am able to connect to the wireless using our Active Directory Credentials without any problem using iOS devices and Apple OSX devices, however I am unable to get Windows 7 devices to connect.
The w7 computer is a fresh install, on either a Windows native machine, or the bootcamp Partition of a Macbook Pro that was connecting in OSX. When I try to connect on windows, the machine asks for the credentials, and then processes for a few seconds and then reports that "Windows was unable to connect to Faculty (SSID)"
I tried running a windows hotfix that is related to cetrification errors in W7 but that did nothing to solve the problem. I feel bad constantly coming to THIS forum for help because a lot of my issues with the radius server endup being problems with my Win2008 configuration, however, Technet is just too slow to respond. So those with experience in WinServer Radius Config, I appreciate any help you could offer
I lack an in-depth understanding useful for effective diagnosis of the problem, but this is what I know,
-The Wireless Controller is able to succesfully Authenticate fia its Auth Diag
-Apple devices are able to authenticate, and automatically re-authenticate as they re enter network coverage.
-Windows 7 Devices SEE the network
-Windows 7 devices get the AUTH request; they ask for Username, and Password as credentials
-The NPS Event viewer in server 2008 does not show any event associated with a failed authentication.
-If I type a wrong password in intentionally, the NPS server does not log it, its as though the message is blocked well before.
-The win2008 server is functionally using the Microsoft PEAP authentication type, with MS-CHAPv2 and MS-CHAP enabled.
-The wireless is accessible only to those in the "Faculty" user-group, and again, this works on OSX/iOS, but same credentials fail in W7
this is the thread in the technet forum, that may have some other usefull information, but I think i covered most of the same ground here already.
