Setting up Group Policy support for WPA2 with Windows Vista

Today I played a little with Wireless Network, WPA2 and GPOs.

I wanted to set up a GPO which distributes the settings for my Wireless Network which uses WPA2

Then you need to set up the GPO. Unfortunately there is no GPMC in Windows Server 2003 that understands WPA2 settings. You will need to edit your GPO from a Vista (using RSAT)or Windows Server 2008
