Are there any group policy settings that will disable all wireless adapters?
We are recieving notebooks with wireless adapters built in and we need to
disable them.

A couple of thought I have is to put the adapters into infrastructure mode
only.

Disable the adapter in the device manager.

Thanks

Pete

Hi

At least for Win2k3 server (with WinXP clients I would guess):

Remove the adapters

disable the device (could be re-enabled though)

How about diabling it in the BIOS? I know you can do that with the
Dell laptops...
