    Hello Dang Nguyyen Hai,

    To disable WiFi on all domain-joined laptops using Group Policy, follow these steps:

    1.      Open the Group Policy Management Console.

    2.      Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) or select an existing one to edit.

    3.      Right-click the selected GPO and choose Edit to open the Group Policy Management Editor.

    4.      Navigate to the following location in the editor:

    ·        Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Wireless Networking (IEEE 802.11) Policy.

    5.      Right-click on Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies and select Create New Windows Vista and Later Policy.

    6.      Provide a policy name (e.g., “Disable WiFi”) and click OK.

    7.      In the policy settings, select the Network Permissions tab.

    8.      Check the following checkboxes to disable WiFi connections:

    ·        Block connections to ad-hoc networks

    ·        Block connections to infrastructure networks

    9.      Click OK to save the policy settings.

    This GPO will apply to all joined PCs in the domain, effectively disabling WiFi access.
