Raspberry Pi 3 WiFi networks

[MCManiac52]

So i have a raspberry pi 3. Trying to connect to schools wifi, both the connections are greyed out with a weird icon of 2 computers and a red circle thing. Anyone have any experience with this?

does it work on other wifi at home? if you don't know or it doesn't it could be missing files from the FAT partition

I haven't experienced such a thing. Is it a clean install of Raspbian (or whatever other operating system your are using)?

yeah it works fine on normal networks, just doesn't seem to like either of the schools domain networks

What operating system are you using on your Pi?

my guess is they have configured the network in a way that the pi can't understand it

The latest version of Raspbian that came with it.

Have you tried using apt-get update?

Can you sign into the internet through another device such as your phone?

Yes. The network uses Active Directory authentication if that helps.

I forget what wireless network management program the RPi uses but I found that using the command line to force wireless connections on the RPi is better than using the GUI. For me the GUI rarely worked but the CLI worked every time.

You wouldn't happen to know the command for this would you?

I tried looking it up but I can't remember off hand. I know I had to create a config file and then force the wireless connectivity using the config file.
