Win7/Server 2008 wireless domain logon
I'm trying to find out if there's a way to logon to a domain using the wireless connection. If a user logs on first on a wired connection, subsequent wireless logons work fine, but if a new user attempts to logon using the wireless it says There are currently no logon servers available to process the logon request.The machines have all been deployed through SCCM, and there's no local admin account to logon to. And with 300 laptops to go out, having each user logon first using a wired connection isn't really an option.

We don't have the luxury of SCCM but when prepping laptops, we configure the wireless for pre-logon so when the end user gets it, it will log them on and authenicate on our domain. There is a lag time for the wireless to connect and obtain an ip address then it'll present the login screen. Sorry I couldn't help more but I'm sure you'll figure how to configure the wireless adapter to do the pre-logon.MCSE, MCSA, MCDST [If this post helps to resolve your issue, please click the "Mark as Answer" or "Helpful" button at the top of this message.

This issue may be caused by the wireless adapter driver that is not compatible with Windows 7. Some of these drivers may not be loaded until a user logs on. You may need to upgrade the adapter driver. If the latest adapter driver cannot help, I suggest you change the following policy to try to resolve the issue. Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon Please enable this policy. If the above suggestions do not help, you may change the adapter with another one and see if it can resolve the issue.Arthur Xie - MSFT
