Configuring WPA2 & RADIUS

 I'm attempting to troubleshoot an issue with an implementation of WPA2 &
RADIUS with certificates (for wireless authentication), it is a somewhat
perplexing issue which I am hoping someone on the list may be able to
provide some guidance on.

 In the building local to the Radius server, the machine will authenticate
to the Radius server using the machine name without issue, however in the
other buildings the same machine (even using the same access point) will
never try to pass the machine name to authenticate.. it passes the user
name, which works if we allow that method of authentication, but it's not
what we're after obviously.

 The strange thing is I see no trace in the Radius server log of it even
trying the machine name and the policy the machine receives should be the
same in each building.

  For the Radius server I am using NPS on win2k8. the client machines are
Vista (latest patch level), AP's are HP ProCurve, physical media is single
mode fiber between the buildings.

  I came into this a little late in the game, from what I can tell
everything seems to be configured correctly, but I'm getting the feeling I'm
missing something stupid, lol


Thanks in advance!
