logon & policy testing

Hi guys

I'm messing with server 2008 R2 for me own learning so I'm afraid I'm going to keep asking questions but your help is much appreciated.

1) I am using a wireless laptop which I connected to the domain. I can log on fine but when I try and switch user I get the error "you cannot logon because the logon method is not allowed on this computer"

2) I also have a problem that when I try and log on as another user because the wifi doen't connect until I logon the laptop can't see the server. How do I make the wifi connect automatically even before a user logs on?

3) I have created some GPO's which work fine apart from the GPO for mapping shared drives. What are the steps in fidning out why a GPO is not working.

Thanks for your help.

See if the WiFi Drivers support Wireless Pre-Auth.

XP?

Win 7. I hadn't linked the GPO properly so it was a good bit of learning.
