I'm curious to know what people are using to deploy and manage their 802.1X clients. GPO, UAC, something else?

We recently migrated to Vista and the client team settled on using native GPO tools to manage a lot of client settings. It's good for the masses but testing changes can be a bit tedious. Either you lose all your testing changes when you reboot (GPO is re-applied) or you have to track an Windows admin down to remove the GPO policies from your machine and then again later to put the machine back in.

In Windows XP SP2 and earlier environments this gets a little tricky. Prior to Service Pack 3, Windows XP really only had GPO settings for wireless. That said, we have developed a Wired EAP Management tool to fill the void. Service Pack 3 catches up though a bit with the addition of the Wired Auto Config service.
