We can always reimage the machine if it comes down to it. But that shouldn't be necessary-I know there has to be a way to fix it. I'm just not knowledgeable enough about the intricacies of group policy to do it.

I'm not sure where to look. When the WLAN AutoConfig service starts, it clearly looks somewhere to see if group policies should be applied. But where? I have no idea.

Unfortunately, when creating the policy I made a mistake configuring the password. So when you try to connect to the network you get a message saying, "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network." So I turned the policy back off and ran gpupdate /force on the machines in the lab, and they all started working again in the sense that the policy was no longer applied and I could manually connect to the wireless network and enter the password. Except for one machine. That machine still won't connect. Still says the saved settings for the wireless network are wrong. It says it's getting its group policy updates fine, yet this policy just won't go away. We've even gone so far as to unjoin the machine from the domain. Still, no luck. I can run regedit and look under the wlansvc -> GroupPolicy section and delete the key that has the SSID of the network (and, I'm assuming, is storing the wrong password info), but when I restart the WLAN AutoConfig service the key comes right back again. How the heck do I get rid of this policy once and for all?
