Access Windows Vista and Windows XP Wireless Group Policy

Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista

This section provides procedures to activate and open Wired Network (IEEE 802.3) Policies and Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies and then access those policies for viewing or modification. If you have already activated the policy that you want to access, you only have to follow the procedures in the last topic, Open Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies for Editing. Otherwise you must first follow the steps in the first two procedures, Open or Add and Open a Group Policy Object and Activate Default Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies, to open the correct Group Policy object (GPO) and then activate the policy before you can open the policy that you want to access.

Membership in Domain Admins, or equivalent, is the minimum requirement to perform these procedures:

• Open or Add and Open a Group Policy Object

• Activate Default Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies

• Open Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies for Editing
