Re the rant, MS always used to say that they left it up to the NIC manufacturers because of the breadth of possible configurations and difficulty of covering all bases...
I always figured they could determine it somehow but that's what they used to say. When you start thinking about all the possible combinations of interfaces these days...blech From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jon Harris Sent: Friday, April 17, 2015 3:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] Wired vs Wireless GPO All thank you for your assistance. I spent a few hours last night/early morning and can confirm at this point Microsoft is saying 3rd party software or scripts are all that is available to deal with this issue. Specific answers below Kurt: Thank you for the script I found a similar one but yours is much more complete than the one I found earlier. There are a number out there. Michael: I will take a look at that one later it too is different from the one I found. While binding order might be possible the person that asked me wants total disable of wireless on wired due to compliance issues. Melvin: That is what I saw on several TechNet responses to this question with only Dell as the listed party. The company uses Dell laptops and as someone else remarked it seems to work for them. RANT ON/* This really should be something covered by a GPO! This issue has been floating since XP and is still getting asked on TechNet enough so that the issue had something like 1000+ questions and answers posed a number of ways with the normal answer being buy 3rd party software to do this or use a script. /*RANT OFF Again thank you all for your help confirming what I found.
