    GPO Wireless Settings Only Show WEP on Server 2003 32-bit DC's Despite the Connection setting of WAP

    Ran across an interesting GPO issue, while distributing wireless settings to users in the Domain. Despite the actual settings included in the Preferred Wireless network settings the GPO shows WEP with EAP in the settings view of the GPMC.
     
    Apparently the GPMC 1.0 console isn't capable of showing all of the settings, nor can it configure WPA2. The solution is to connect using GPMC from the Remote Services Adminstration Pack on either Server 2008 or Vista. This will show a more accurate "settings view" and allow the configuration of WPA2.
     
    The GPO will be saved on the 32-bit Domain Controllers and replicated throughout the network properly, but will not show up accurately in the Settings View on GPMC 1.0.
