We have had a strange problem come up...we just started getting the message
"OS mismatch detected" on windows XP wireless laptops on CCA.  We are
running 4.1.2.1 successfully for the past couple months; we have two
managers in redundant mode, and 6 CAS boxes.

On my test machine, I can connect to the wireless network and get an IP
address fine, but the Agent does not popup and when I put my pointer over
the CCA agent icon in the system tray, I see the "OS Mismatch Detected"
error.  This same laptop has had no changes of any kind, has worked fine
since we turned CCA on, and there have not been any CCA changes of any
kind.  I stopped and restarted the Agent, but it didn't help.  I completely
uninstalled and reinstalled the Agent, but that didn't work either.  When I
take that laptop to another area of campus, fed by the same CAS box (only a
different vlan), it works fine.   If I take my laptop back to the trouble
area, it will suddenly work fine; a day later, if I go back there, it will
stop working and show me the OS mismatch error, so it all appears to be
intermittent, with seemingly no pattern.

I would estimate that 25% of our users in our Library are unable to use
wireless due to this problem.  We are not doing any posture
assessment/repair on our CCA network; it is log in via Agent only, at this
time.

I have a case open with Cisco, but thought I'd see if anyone has seen this
before.

Many thanks!
