If the machine is domained and you check the box "Authenticate as computer when computer information is available" in the SSID setup under the "Authentication" tab then on boot up the "computer account" will be used to log in providing you allow it in your radius config. Our radius is a Microsoft IAS box that is a member of the domain and I specifically allow "DOMAIN\Domain users" and "DOMAIN\Domain Computers" and it works great.
You can watch at boot up an IAS event log entry for the computer logging in and then after a user logs in there is a new entry from that same client machine for the specific user. Hope it helps.

Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 2:10 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Logging into a Active Directory domain via wireless & 802.1x We have several kiosk computers setup in our Student Commons area, and they are accessing the Internet wirelessly. What I'd like to be able to do is join the computers to a domain and then have the students login with their Active Directory credentials. We will also be configuring the computers to use 802.1x over wireless. From what I've googled, wireless doesn't appear to be setup until a person logs into the computer. Is there any way to accomplish this? Thanks.
