Windows 7 Windows 7 Home Premium on a Wireless Active Directory

[HowyDan]

Hello everyone. I've run into a problem with a laptop trying to logon to a wireless network.
The network was created in active directory and even though I can see the network broadcasting, when I put my username [UC\XXXXXX] and password I get nothing but the same request. With my Windows Ultimate laptop I had no issues.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

It sounds like you are experiencing difficulty connecting your laptop to a wireless network that was created in Active Directory. The issue seems to revolve around authentication, where entering your username [UC\XXXXXX] and password results in a repeated request without successful login. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to address this issue: 1. Check Network Security Settings: - Ensure that the security settings on the wireless network match those of your laptop. If the network is using WPA2-Enterprise or other secure protocols, make sure your laptop supports these settings. 2. Check Active Directory User Account: - Verify that your Active Directory user account has the necessary permissions to connect to the network. It's possible that there might be a restriction or misconfiguration on the account level. 3. Network Authentication Protocol: - Confirm that the network is utilizing the correct authentication protocol that your laptop supports. Common protocols include EAP-PEAP, EAP-TLS, or EAP-TTLS. 4. Clear Cached Credentials: - Clear any cached credentials on your laptop that might be conflicting with the new network authentication. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Credential Manager. 5. Restart Networking Services: - Sometimes, restarting the networking services on your laptop can resolve connectivity issues. You can try disabling and re-enabling the Wi-Fi adapter or restarting the wireless service. 6. Update Wireless Drivers: - Ensure that your laptop's wireless network drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause connectivity issues. 7. Connect with Another Device: - If possible, try connecting to the network with another device that you have access to, to check if the issue is specific to your laptop. If after trying these steps you are still facing issues, it might be helpful to consult your network administrator or IT support for further assistance. They can provide more specialized guidance based on the network configuration and your laptop's setup. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any other questions!
