is it possible to disable the wifi on an m2 mac mini?

I don't want pupils turning on the mac wifi and hot spotting the mac. pupils are using a standard user, not admin.

Yes (I think it’s the same as earlier MacOS). Delete the wifi connection in the Network prefs. This will need an admin account to add back.

We're disabling Wi-Fi on iMacs and Mac Mini's using a custom configuration profile in Jamf. Haven't tested on M2 Mac Mini's yet but should do the job.

 

You can also disable the 'Network' system settings pane in a configuration profile.

 

 

Preference Domain: com.apple.mcxMenuExtras

 

PLIST settings:

 

   AirPort.menu

   

 

 

Preference Domain: com.apple.MCXAirPort

 

PLIST settings:

 

   DisableAirPort

   

 

 

 

Haven't found a way to hide Wi-Fi from the Control Centre yet though..
