Re: Authenticate as computer and wireless security

That's a *good* thing, you don't want to disable it!

By having the computer authenticate using its machine account, the computer
will process machine group policies, startup scripts, software installation
settings, software restriction policies -- all the same things that wired
computers do when then they authenticate to the domain.

This is the beauty of 802.1X (whether EAP-TLS or PEAP): wired and wireless
logons behave exactly the same.
