Do Remote Desktop connections work to Windows wireless clients that use 802.1X authentication? A. Not at this time.

I`m using Windows 7 clients over a wired 802.1x authenticated network and I`m using user certificates. The authentication server is NPS radius on Windows Server 2008 R2 and so is the AD server and CA as well.

Any bits would help, I have been struggling with this for a while now. Regards,
