Hi, Is it possible to authenticate a wireless computer in AD through 802.1x using certificates? I want to be able to deploy a certificate to a computer which is in AD and allow it to automatically authenticate through our NPS server, without the user having to submit their username and password. Currently, at a remote site we use a pre-shared key, but I have been asked to remove a replace with 802.1x authentication! It appears to be possible by what I have read on technet, but just wanted to check before investing time in development. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards PowerShell90
