Hello,

To restrict domain users to connect only to the company's WiFi network, you can use Group Policy to configure wireless network policies. Here are the steps:

1. On the domain controller, open the Group Policy Management console.
2. Right-click your domain or organizational unit (OU), select New GPO, and give it a name, such as "Restrict WiFi connections."
3. Right-click the newly created GPO and select Edit.
4. Navigate to Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies > Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies Node.

Right-click and select Create New Wireless Network Policy.

In the Wireless Network Policy Properties window, name the policy, such as "Company WiFi Policy."

5. In the Preferred Networks tab, click Add, and then enter the SSID of your company's WiFi network and other necessary settings.
6. In the Network Permissions tab, there is usually an option to select Only allow connections to specified networks. Make sure this option is selected to prevent connections to other networks.
7. Run gpupdate /force on each client computer in the domain, or wait for the group policy to automatically update.

After completing the above steps, the domain user's computer will only be able to connect to the company WiFi network you specify, and will not be able to connect to other WiFi networks.
