Lightweight 1142n APs not joining WLC 4404

Hey is that Leo

Hello!

I am at a complete loss as to what is going on with my network. Everything was working fine, for as long as I can recall, until the other day. 

My APs will not join the WLC, and I have no clue as to why. I have reset the WLC as well as a few of the APs just to see if that makes a difference. I have also reset the switch.

I have a Cisco 3750 24 port PoE switch.

WLC 4404

5 of the Cisco 1142n APs

The WLC in connected to the sfp gigabit Fa1/0/1 port on the switch. I am looking at the GUI side of the WLC and it DOES see the APs, they just will not join! I am able to ping them, some still have a static IP whereas the 2 that I reset have acquired a new IP via the DHCP server.

I also have a Win 2012 DC that has RADIUS, NPS, DHCP, DNS roles. I am not sure if any of this is inhibiting anything? 

The WLC is using a national NTP server to get the time. The WLC is using 'US' as the correct country code.

I am losing my mind over this--any help is greatly appreciated!

Evidently it's a known Cisco bug... excellent.

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCut75441/?referring_site=bugquickviewclick

Solution was/is to add: ''' config ap lifetime-check mic enable ''' to the WLC

It immediately started working once I did this, except for the 2 APs that I reset.

A big F U to Cisco for this BS.
