Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A technician needs to configure a Wi-Fi profile for corporate-owned iOS devices using Microsoft Intune. The profile must automatically connect to the 'Corporate_Secure_WiFi' network, which uses WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X authentication (EAP-TLS). The devices should use certificates for authentication. Which Intune configuration profile type and authentication method should the technician configure?
- AIdentity protection, with Wi-Fi configured for 'EAP-TLS' and 'Certificates'.
- BWi-Fi, with network type 'WPA/WPA2 Enterprise' and authentication 'Certificates'.
- CDevice features, with Wi-Fi network type 'WPA/WPA2' and authentication 'Username and password'.
- DVPN, with connection type 'Wi-Fi' and authentication 'Certificates'.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Wi-Fi, with network type 'WPA/WPA2 Enterprise' and authentication 'Certificates'.
To configure a WPA2 Enterprise Wi-Fi network with 802.1X EAP-TLS authentication using certificates, the 'Wi-Fi' configuration profile type in Intune is the correct choice. Within this profile, you would select 'WPA/WPA2 Enterprise' as the security type and 'Certificates' as the authentication method.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Identity protection focuses on authentication methods like Windows Hello, not directly on Wi-Fi profile creation.
- C. Device features profile is for general device settings, not specific Wi-Fi configurations. Username and password authentication is not EAP-TLS with certificates.
- D. VPN profiles are for virtual private networks, not for configuring standard Wi-Fi network connections.
Intune Wi-Fi Profile (EAP-TLS)
A Microsoft Intune configuration profile used to deploy Wi-Fi network settings to devices, including SSID, security type (e.g., WPA2 Enterprise), and authentication method (e.g., certificate-based EAP-TLS).
- Automates Wi-Fi connection setup for users.
- Supports various security types, including enterprise-grade 802.1X.
- Can use certificates for secure authentication (EAP-TLS).
Memory trick: Wi-Fi profiles connect your devices securely with certificates.
