Okay, ignoring how I currently have things setup, how would other people<br>
go about controlling the users and devices on a wifi network by means of<br>
802.1x, freeradius using AD for authentication and Win XP Pro SP3<br>

We don't bother. It's not obvious why "controlling the devices" is useful.<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div>IT policy here requires that there's no unapproved/unsupported devices on our network. With the current test PEAP-TLS configuration anyone could use their AD account to connect any device to the wifi network, rather than just the laptops they've been issued. </div>

clients. I'd have thought that this was a fairly common requirement in<br>
the enterprise world, so I'm surprised there's not an obvious solution,<br>
or am I missing something? At the moment it looks like we'll have to<br>
abandon 802.1x and go back to WPA2-PSK.<br>

1. Use machine auth for 802.1x<br>
