Wired or Wireless Network GPO setting is not displayed in GPMC report in Windows


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you have some Group Policy Object (GPO) settings on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer. The GPO contains the Smart Card or other Certificate Properties settings or the Protected EAP (PEAP) settings for Wired Network Policies or Wireless Network Policies as the network authentication method. However, when you try to view the settings in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) report, the selected network authentication method is missing from the GPO.

Note You can view the GPO settings in the Local Group Policy Editor (Gpedit.msc).

For example, consider the following scenario:
  • You create a GPO by using the Wireless Network Policy wizard on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computer.
  • In the Wireless Network Properties dialog box, you configure the properties for Microsoft: Smart Card or other certificate or Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP) under the Security Tab.
  • You try to view the report of the GPO setting in the GPMC snap-in.
In this scenario, the settings for the network authentication method are not displayed in the report.
