Just adding my experience here. I was having trouble with my Windows 11 clients not authenticating automatically and popping up the "Action Needed" dialog box. The computers would not authenticate automatically, but when following the dialog boxes we could get them to authenticate by manually telling the computer to try.
We have our switches configured to authenticate with Microsoft NPS and are using Group Policy to configure the computers. Our Windows 10 computers worked without flaws. After reading this thread I decided to check my Group Policy and the only difference is that I was not specifying the servers they could authenticate to, so I was not having the problem with the case mismatch. I found the fix to be checking the box next to my domain CA in the Trusted Root Certification Authorites section below the box where you can specify which servers to connect to.

BenBoldt can you elaborate a bit on what GPO you did make, in order to solve this issue? 🙂
We just Upgraded our Windows 10 hybrid to Windows 11 - and now we got this issue. 😞
