Huh? 802.1x wired auth is for port level authentication. You can stop people plugging random network devices (e.g. a rogue laptop) into your wired Ethernet ports.

So, if I don't have any APs, or any other wireless devices, I shouldn't need that?

From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 10:59 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Wireless configuration service Me thinks you only need to have this service running on machines that actually have wireless network interfaces installed. At least, that is how we have it set here and our wireless laptops work great. It is disabled via GP on all desktops and servers. From: Joe Heaton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 10:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Wireless configuration service Anyone have a good reason for this service being running and set to Automatic, if you don't support wireless devices in your network? Just found it running on my DC.
