One of my biggest headaches in previous years has been finding a solution to push out the wireless password for our org via group policy. Granted, this was with Windows Server 2003 and XP Clients, but I'm wondering if it's still as difficult. We currently have a Cisco 4400 Controller with 50 APs, all talking to the same SSID. Previously, I'd have to set up authentication, manage a RADIUS server, all that good stuff. This worked, but was painful, and overkill for what we were trying to accomplish.

In 2008 R2 Group Policy with 7 clients, is this easier? Can I simply do a basic, "If this SSID is in range, assign it this password" (pushed out encrypted, obviously) policy? If so, can anyone point me to a KB, I'm having trouble finding the starting point on this. Thanks much.
