Oh dear. We implemented site wide 802.1x when we moved. This has caused numerous issues which we are still tracking down and killing with fire. Again "only-when-we-needed-it" struck as we had a new starter and need to build a machine. Ah. No PXE. However thankfully we were able to make a bootable USB using 802.1x and get our build working again from MDT in our 802.1 environment. Here's how we did it. Caveats: I'm assuming you know MDT and how PXE works. We use Computer certificates as the 8021x auth method. 802.1x is working in our environment GPO is used to start the wired 802.1x service on built machines. GPO is used to configure the network profile to use 802.1x What you need Get a USB stick to take your WinPE 4GB may be enough Make sure you are running an up to date working MDT installation! Create a machine certificate which has a long expiry date, you don't want to be making USB WinPE images every month!! Export the machine ...
If you are using Intune (great!) it assumes you have a wired connection (not great) - this is more of an issue as some machine now no longer have built in ethernet ports. It is possible to connect to your wireless - albeit in a slightly awkward way.....here's how During the OOBE hit SHIFT+F10 to get a command window and type either; start ms-settings: To get the settings window or start ms-availablenetworks: To see the network fly outs.

From the title you can guess that we have Exchange 2010 (SP1 CU6 - with Hotfix for EVault) and we are using NetScaler VPX to load balance the services. I used the excellent document from Citrix to configure the NetScalers (we have two in active/active - sort of using VMACs to split the traffic RPC to one, HTTP(S) and SMTP to the other). However I found a document from Microsoft which points out that there is "significant performance penalty" if we configure incorrect persistence for EAS. The Microsoft document is here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625248.aspx This put us in a pickle and no mistake. This is because in a NetScaler persistence is per vServer. We have one vServer for HTTPS as we have one IP address for all HTTP traffic. This vServer would then deal with all HTTPS traffic including OWA,ECP,EWS,RPC over HTTPS and EAS. OWA requires cookie based persistence, this is also the method the Citrix doc...
