Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to ensure that all corporate-owned macOS devices have a specific Wi-Fi profile deployed. This profile uses WPA2 Enterprise security with 802.1X authentication and requires a user certificate for EAP-TLS. Which Intune configuration profile type for macOS should be used to deploy this Wi-Fi profile?
- ADevice features
- BCustom
- CWi-Fi
- DSCEP certificate
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Wi-Fi
The 'Wi-Fi' configuration profile type in Intune for macOS is specifically designed to deploy detailed Wi-Fi network settings, including security types like WPA2 Enterprise, 802.1X, and associated authentication methods such as EAP-TLS with user certificates.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Device features profiles configure general device capabilities like AirPrint or Web Clips, not specific Wi-Fi network settings.
- B. Custom profiles are for settings not available in other templates, whereas Wi-Fi profiles are a standard, built-in option.
- D. A SCEP certificate profile is used to deploy the certificate itself, but the Wi-Fi profile is needed to configure the network to *use* that certificate for authentication.

- Dedicated profile type for Wi-Fi configurations.
- Supports various security types, including 802.1X.
- Can integrate with certificate profiles for EAP-TLS.
- Ensures consistent network access for managed macOS devices.
Memory trick: Wi-Fi profiles connect Mac devices securely.
