Microsoft 365 Endpoint AdministratorManage devices and apps (55-60%)Medium
A company is using Microsoft Intune to manage its macOS devices. They need to ensure that all macOS devices have a specific Wi-Fi profile configured with WPA2 Enterprise security, including a pre-shared key, and are set to automatically connect. Which Intune profile type should be used to deploy this Wi-Fi configuration?
- AEndpoint security > Firewall > macOS firewall rules
- BDevices > macOS > Compliance policies > Wi-Fi settings
- CDevices > macOS > Configuration profiles > Create profile > Templates > Wi-Fi
- DDevices > macOS > Configuration profiles > Create profile > Settings catalog > Search for 'Wi-Fi'
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Devices > macOS > Configuration profiles > Create profile > Templates > Wi-Fi
Intune provides a dedicated 'Wi-Fi' configuration profile template for macOS devices. This template allows administrators to define detailed Wi-Fi network settings, including security types (like WPA2 Enterprise), passwords, and automatic connection preferences.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Firewall rules manage network traffic security, not the configuration of Wi-Fi network connectivity itself.
- B. Compliance policies define requirements for devices to be considered compliant but do not actively deploy configurations like Wi-Fi profiles.
- D. While the Settings catalog offers granular settings, the 'Wi-Fi' template provides a more structured and user-friendly interface for common Wi-Fi deployment scenarios, including WPA2 Enterprise.

A Microsoft Intune configuration profile type used to deploy pre-configured Wi-Fi network settings to managed macOS devices, including SSID, security type, password, and auto-connection settings.
- Simplifies Wi-Fi network onboarding for users.
- Supports various security types (WPA2-Enterprise, WPA2-Personal, etc.).
- Ensures consistent Wi-Fi connectivity across managed devices.
