Active Directory NPS wireless connection not working

Question

I've recently setup a NPS server on my Domain Controller for testing.

I created the radius client and defined policies. Also configured the access point to talk to the radius server.

The problem is everytime I try to login to the wifi it says "connecting.." and then goes back to show "saved" on the wifi status.

Here's the log:

I've also tried changing the wireless access point to be sure, but same result.

Any ideas?

I solved this problem.

Apparently, the server was authenticating the users fine but wasn't able to authenticate itself to the radius client.

We need to add different new certificate to the NPS server.

So In the NPS management console, Policies --> Network Policies --> (Select your policy) --> Constraints --> Authentication Methods --> Select Microsoft: Protected EAP (PEAP) in the EAP Types box --> Edit and change the certificate issued to to the last option. -->OK --> Apply.
