RE: Wireless security question

Not true, the policy is still applied as long as she is using her domain logon (credentials cached locally).  I've gone 
through this with some of our field techs who liked to bypass the proxy, but weren't able to surf the web when they 
went home-- how they cried...

If she is running windows XP, I believe an easier way would be to place her in an OU and create a policy for her that 
disables the Wireless Zero Configuration service. That should stop it from atleast associating with the other access 
points. When she got home, the policy wouldnt be applied seeing as she wasnt on the domain any longer. Just my 2 cents.
