Connect a Domain-Managed Windows PC to District Wireless

Some Windows PCs may not prompt for username and password when connecting to the KPBSD-PersonalDevices network if they are joined to and managed by a non-KPBSD domain. This is typically due to Windows attempting to supply the user's domain credentials to the 802.1x authentication used by this network rather than prompting for the account that should be used (usually an employee, student, or building guest account supplied by KPBSD). Follow the below process to manually define and connect to the KPBSD-PersonalDevices network.

Solution

If you have previously attempted to connect to this network, you should forget it before adding it in manually.
1. Go to the Windows Control Panel > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Manage known networks.
2. Select Forget next to KPBSD-PersonalDevices.
Manually define the KPBSD-PersonalDevices network (This part can only be done from the Windows Classic Control Panel).
1. From the Windows Classic Control Panel, go to Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Setup new connection or network.
