Setting up WPA Server on 2003 for wireless clients?

[mASTERgEE]

I need to configure WPA with 2003 Server so wireless clients can access the domain. What is the simplest way to do this?

Do I have to install IAS / Radius, Certificate Authority, etc?

Can I just install Radius service and copy certificate to client machines?

This is only for a small domain.

I've set up a wireless infrastructure before based off of using peap. This setup was backed by a windows 2003 radius server our access points are 3com. You need to setup a ias server also you need certificate services. You need to install certificates on the client computers in either the machine store or the user store. Your IAS computer also needs a computer certificate installed. I have to see I hated this setup. We constantly had problems with logon scripts profiles any domain related task give use problems. We are redesigning our wireless setup toltally we are setting up a pix firewall that has a dmz interface. Wireless clients will run regular wpa preshared key or wep. When the clients log into there workstations a vpn box will pop up allowing them to vpn into the lan. This is a much better setup due to the fact that we will be running ipsec vpn tunnels. I think you should really consider another approach. Do you guys have a firewall with a dmz segment if not you can build one from a old system download smoothwall which is a linux based firewall thats very stable and will give you 3 interfaces and best if all its free. By the way I read this book
