Why IAS? Why not just have them as Domain Members and forget it?

This really is not "remote access".
The wirless portion of the network is not a "different network". A WAP
does not create a "network",...it just replaces the physical "patch cables"
with a Radio Signal. It is effectively just a Switch without wires on the
Host side,...but is still wired on the "backbone" side.

1. Let the machines connect to the WAP using WPA with a Key,.....without an
kind of "user authentication.

2. The machines need to be Domain Members

3. In "Active Directory Users and Computers" go to the properties of each
"Administration Personnel" account involved in this and set a "list" of
machines they are allowed to connect from [Yes, it's a hassle],...you can't
do it with Groups. The users need to log into the machines with Domain
Level User Accounts,....not Local User Accounts. Active Directory will then
evaluate if the user is allowed to log in with that particular workstation.
Remove all local user accounts from these machines except for any that
really have to be there.
