We've been starting to test Win 7. We use mainly Cisco Secure Services Client (SSC) and Intel Proset. The SSC vista version just doesn't work right. You have to set machine authentication on the wireless profiles in order to get it to work. Funny thing is we don't use machine auth. Proset 12 is flakey as hell as well. Basically no 3rd party client will work right. WZCFG works fine but who wants to use that in an enterprise network? I haven't tested Odyessy yet and dont think I will anyways.

One thing to note about Win 7. The permissions are all out of wack. What we have seen is even if you an an admin, you still don't have permissions to access/update everything. This tends to screwup the install of software.

Success Stories

I literally just came out of the testing centre having taken the CWDP exam. The certification process opened my mind to different techniques and solutions. This knowledge can only broaden your perspective. Great job, CWNP, you have a great thing going on here.

Working through the CWNP coursework and certifications helped not only to deepen my technical knowledge and understanding, but also it boosted my confidence. The hard work it took to earn my CWNE has been rewarding in so many ways.

I want to commend you and all at CWNP for having a great organization. You really 'raise the bar' on knowing Wi-Fi well. I have learned a ton of information that is helping my job experience and personal career goals, because of my CWAP/CWDP/CWSP studies. Kudos to all at CWNP.
