Dumb question... In your 802.1x configuration on your Windows laptops, you *do* have both "Authenticate as a machine..." and "Automatically use my Windows credentials" enabled, yes?

My problem is there are no cached creditials on the machine.  I don't
even make it as far in to get a pop up box, because as soon as I select
OK I get the error of Domain is unavailable.

On the login box- which is preceeded by "Click here to select a
certificate or other credential" balloon pop-up, we inititially shot
ourselves in the foot somewhat as part of our Novell client build was a
registry tweak to disable such pop ups (this was done long before .1x
was even a twinkle in the eye). That little pop up is critical to
getting the initial login box. And to say credentials are cached
indefinitely may be stretching it- when users change their passwords in AD (or whatever) the cached credentials then become invalid (just to be
complete).

I would think this would be a RADIUS /IAS Issue. I do ths almost daily:
 Add a temporary user to AD/ACS/RADIUS and log in with my WZC utility.
It prompts on the first login attempt for my uname/pw and to verify the cert. However, this box does not often show itself easily and seems to hide behind any window that happens to be open. clear all windows from
desktop and during the auth process, continually click on the little
wireless icon in the task bar. This seems to force the window from the
realm of invisibility.  Once you do this, it will cash the credentials
indefinately.  I've had varying degrees of success with the "clear
cached credential" registry change that msoft talks about...

1.  A laptop that belongs to our domain, but the user has never
logged into it before (so no cached creditentials exist) it errors
with the Domain is not available.  If cached creditentials do exist

then they get logged in.
