Laptops unable to connect to Miracast when jpoined to the domain

Question

We have Dell laptops if I take one out of the bos it can connect to the Miracast. So I know its not H/W drivers etc any of that. I join it to our domain and it cannot connect. I have checked the wifi settings per many sites and that are set to allow it. According to all the setting mentioned below. The windows firewall is off. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Hi,

Based on my understanding, you issue is that Domain joined clients are not able to establish a Miracast connection. Please feel free to let me know if I have any misunderstanding.

Were domain machines receiving their wireless configuration via group policy settings? If yes, which template did you choose? Create A New Wireless Network Policy for Windows Vista and Later Releases or Create A New Windows XP Policy?

To check the used template version when the policy was created, issue the command "gpresult /h C:\policy.html" and open the generated policy.html with the Internet Explorer. As picture below:

If you are using Create A New Windows XP Policy option, please create a new domain based wireless network policy in the Group Policy Management editor, with the settings as the old one, but chose the template Create A New Wireless Network Policy for Windows Vista and Later Releases. This will automatically change the Wi-Fi Direct (WFD)setting to true.

Best Regards,
Candy
