I was wondering how others handle account password changes and wireless.
The problem we seem to be running into is if a user changes their
password and then tries to connected to wireless, windows will try to
connect using the old cached username and password but will fail, and
never reprompts them for their new password.

 

According to KB823731 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823731), by
design, the cached credentials are not deleted and do not time out
unless the user fails to authenticate or the wireless network is removed
from the preferred list. This does not seem to be the case for us.
Windows never reprompts for the password when the user fails to
authenticate.

 

Has anyone been able to find a way to force windows to reprompt when the
username and password fail, or has everyone been instructing users to
delete the registry key that KB823731 talks about?  We are running IAS
for our RADIUS servers.

Thanks,
