Windows – use wireless 802.1x authentication on windows for client machines that are not in the domain

802.1wifiwindows

First off, I am not a sysadmin, so feel free to correct any mistakes in my question.

We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain with 802.1X authenticated wireless access for laptops with Windows 7 installed. Most of the laptops are in the domain, but some are not. The people using those machines do have a domain user account to access network resources, but are not logged on to the machine with that account.

How can we allow the windows 7 machines that are not in the domain to connect to the wireless network?

Under advanced network properties of that SSID untick "use logged on user's credentials to connect to this network" and then you will get a prompt for the username and password or a balloon tip to say additional information required. Click on it and type domain\username and then the password. Thats it!
