WPA2 wifi access works in Mac but not windows

I have a macbook with windows installed in bootcamp. When I'm at the office, I can connect to our WPA2 enterprise wifi very easily in Mac osx, but windows can't. I suppose it has something to do with domain restrictions placed on our lan by the IT department, because to my knowledge, I have entered all the settings exactly right, but windows fails to connect and advises me to contact the administrator.

Does anyone know of anything I can try?

You should really contact your IT department with this problem. They know all the nuances of your wireless setup and can troubleshoot this problem right on the spot.

If anyone's interested, Windows didn't have the right certificates installed, and IT had to copy them from another workstation to get my WiFi working.

I've been trying for a few weeks to connect my MacBook Pro to my uni wifi network (WPA-2 Enterprise). After a few attempts, I finally solved the problem and connected to the network.

Here's what I did :

1. Open network and sharing center
2. Go to the wireless network that u want to connect (WPA-2 Enterprise)
3. Right click > properties > security
4. Security type : choose no authentication (open) encryption type : none
5. It might have added (2) at the back of the network. Afterwards, just connect to that wifi network

Works like a charm :)
