[...] I believe you can do it by integrating an update into the 2003 schema. [...]

It’s a good point – I don’t tend to get involved in AD stuff unless absolutely necessary, I’ll update the article when I get a moment. You’d think that a Domain Admin would have permissions for schema updates!? Thanks for the feedback.

The item that tripped me up was that while I am an Enterprise Admin and Domain admin, etc, I was not a “Schema Admin.” Adding myself to that group (and logging back in) made things work much better.

Also, while you say “[Distinguished_Name_of_domain_controller]“, I believe you mean “[Distinguished_Name_of_domain]“. Pointing to a specific controller was not effective.

Lastly, it might be worth adding a sample of a distinguished name. I haven’t done AD stuff in a long time, and trying to dig this back out was more effort than I want to admit.

I don’t know if I made it clear but the GPO updates do have to be made from either a Vista or Server 2008 machine. Glad the info helped anyway.

Hello there

I had the same issue. Booting the server did not help. The only solution was to install a Vista Domain machine and run the management of the Active Directory GPO from it. Now the WPA2 and AES config was there! Thanks a lot!!
