RADIUS authentication without profile

Question
-
hey guys, I have setup a radius server, and ive noticied it works if i have the profile pre configured on the laptop, but if i delete the wireless profile and try to connect i get a prompt titled.. EAP-TLS and asking for domain\username and password, but it wont accept my credentials, is there a way to get RADIUS to work without having to push or manually configure a wireless profile to my machines?
Thanks...

Hi,
Unfortunately, the available information is not enough have a clear view of the occurred behavior could you provide more information about your environment. For example, the server platform edition, the when you experience this issue what are you trying to do, when this problem occurs the system log record information, screenshots is the best information.
From your description we can’t sure whether you have deleted your client certificate, please confirm your client still have the required certificate.

Ok, so to answer your questions
RADIUS is running on a 2008 R2 DC, it is configured to use PEAP with TLS and i have no certificate issues.
To clarify what i'm trying to do, i am trying to connect to the AP with out having to setup the wireless profile on the client through GPO or manually. Because i have configured it so that users get a username and password prompt to authenticate, but it only work if the profile is already on the machine, i was wondering if it can work where the client machine domain joined or not, can select an SSID they don't have a pre-config wireless profile for, get the credential prompt and still get verified.

Hi,
To use PEAP-TLS, you must deploy a PKI. MS-CHAP v2 is the recommended method for user authentication if a certificate infrastructure is not available.
If you use a local user account for MS-CHAP v2 authentication, the demand-dial routers do not need to join the Active Directory domain. Be sure to use strong passwords with MS-CHAP v2. In an Active Directory domain, you can use Group Policy settings to enforce the use of strong passwords.

Hope this helps.
