I assume you are only talking about Windows PCs since Macintosh either do machine only (System) authentication or User only (User or Login) authentication, but not both.
Microsoft designed their client RADIUS supplicant to do either machine or user authentication, but not both at the same time. Some wireless and RADIUS server vendors use different tricks to make both "sort of" work. I know Aruba controllers can cache the machine authentication and pair it with the user authentication, but we chose not to use that vendor-specific "hack".

Reading this technet<http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731220%28v=ws.10%29.aspx> page it looks like you can specify a condition of the computer being in a Machine Group and User being in User Group. I'm not an AD guy, so I don't understand the difference between the two groups, but as I recall different condition types are evaluated with an AND, so in theory you could do it that way. I'm interested in this as well, but haven't had time to play with it.

What we'd like to do is authenticate the device (make sure it is a domain PC) as well as the user (make sure they are a domain user). From what I can tell, it seems like we can do 1 or the other, but not both. It may be possible with a different Radius server from what I've read (Cisco ACS seems to have a wizard for this), but I'm wondering if anyone is doing this today using MSoft's radius server? Any info you can provide is appreciated.
