CHiLL Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 For a long time, we have had WLAN disabled on desktops that are connected via Ethernet, with the origins being DNS related issues (I think with SOLUS3). Since we no longer use SIMS/SOLUS3, I'm wondering if this policy to disable WLAN on desktops is still necessary, especially since we use dot1x and security groups to specify different VLANs for desktop/laptops and staff/student devices? The only things I can think of that would cause issues are: I'd be harder to tell if the Ethernet cable has been unplugged, as it'll default to Wi-Fi (while a good failover, we'll likely not know that network performance is degraded on that machine) Hotspotting - Since Windows now has the ability to hotspot it's wireless, I'd want to disable this. I'm sure there's a GPO for it, I just haven't looked into it yet Is there anything else that I may need to consider?
FN-GM Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Is there any reason to enable it? Are things working ok with the current configuration?
