Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A Microsoft 365 Endpoint Administrator needs to ensure that all corporate-owned iOS devices have a specific Wi-Fi network profile pushed to them. This network uses WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X authentication, requiring a username and password for connection. Users should not be able to modify the network settings once configured. Which Intune configuration profile type should the administrator use?
- AWi-Fi profile
- BDevice restrictions profile
- CCustom configuration profile
- DVPN profile
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. Wi-Fi profile
Intune's Wi-Fi profile is specifically designed to configure and deploy Wi-Fi network settings, including complex authentication types like WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X, to managed iOS devices.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Device restrictions control device features, but not the configuration of specific networks.
- C. While a custom profile *could* potentially configure Wi-Fi, the dedicated Wi-Fi profile offers a user-friendly interface and comprehensive options for this common task.
- D. VPN profiles are for virtual private networks, not for configuring standard Wi-Fi access.
