root CA expired now machine authentication broken (please help)

Recently the root CA for my domain expired on my Windows 2003 std
certificate authority.



I then right clicked on the CA and clicked "renew CA certificate" with same
key.



Now none of my Wireless clients (all are Windows XP) are able to do machine
authentication.



Even if I hard wire the clients in and restart them so that they renew their
certificates the machine will still not authenticate. Users however, are
able to authenticate to the wireless network just fine.





I have a wireless network setup in a GPO for the whole domain and the
configuration is set like this.



SSID: Dnet

network authentication: WPA

data encryption: TKIP

EAP type: PEAP

authenticate as computer when computer information is available: is checked

and computer authentication is set to: with user re-authentication



under the settings tab I have:



Validate server certificate: checked

connect to these servers: then I list out my ISA servers

do not prompt user to authorize new servers or trusted certification
authorities: checked

select authentication method: secured password EAP-MSCHAP v2

enable fast reconnect: checked





Does anyone have advice on what I should try next?

Assume you use IAS, any errors in the Event Viewer?

Yes I am using IAS

what is strange is that I do not see any failed events in the system log for
IAS for workstation whi-02881



I see this message under Security:

Event ID 680
logon attempt by: microsoft_authentication_package_v1_0
logon account: host/whi-02881.domain.com
source workstation:

error code: 0xc0000064
