Here's the dumb thing: We know the root cause is RF interference. Our vendor is Meru and they did an evaluation scan of our environment before we moved into the building 18 months ago and based on what they found they recommended 25 dual-radio AP's. Our company decided that was too expensive

Just added that. We'll see if that fixes the problem. The thing is, there's a long standing GPO (admin template) that allows RDP, and it's either being ignored or overridden. That's pretty puzzling. Also, the new GPO controlling the firewall explicitly turns off the firewall for the Domain

What versions are the clients? The Win7 host firewall does not AFAIK share any settings or behaviors with its predecessors. I'd definitely prefer to leave the firewall on, with an allow rule for RDP (and probably RPC remote management) in the Domain profile. --Steve On Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 2:14
