SCCM2012 R2: Deploy WiFi Profile on Windows 10

SCCM WiFi profiles are used to deploy a WiFi configuration to SCCM managed computers. You can perform this task by GPO but we won’t cover this scenario. Note that you cannot specify a WiFi password in the SCCM wizard. So, we will export WiFi profile in XML format using the netsh command.

First, we list all the WiFi profiles on the device:

PS > netsh wlan show profiles

Profiles on interface Wi-Fi:

Group policy profiles (read only)
---------------------------------
    <None>

User profiles
-------------
    All User Profile     : NicoWiFi

Only one profile: “NicoWiFi”

Next, we will export this profile in XML file. Be sure you have administrator privileges to perform this task:

PS > netsh wlan export profile name=”NicoWiFi” folder=C:\Export key=clear

Interface profile "NicoWiFi" is saved in file "C:\Export\Wi-Fi-NicoWiFi.xml" successfully.

Note: To display the key in plain text, set key=clear.

Now, you can open the XML file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
-<WLANProfile xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v1">
<name>NicoWiFi</name>
-<SSIDConfig>
-<SSID>
<hex>63726456955785636E7068</hex>
<name>NicoWiFi</name>
</SSID>
</SSIDConfig>
<connectionType>ESS</connectionType>
<connectionMode>auto</connectionMode>
-<MSM>
-<security>
-<authEncryption>
<authentication>WPA2PSK</authentication>
<encryption>AES</encryption>
<useOneX>false</useOneX>
</authEncryption>
-<sharedKey>
<keyType>passPhrase</keyType>
<protected>false</protected>
<keyMaterial>!!!KEY!!!</keyMaterial>
</sharedKey>
</security>
</MSM>
-<MacRandomization xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/networking/WLAN/profile/v3">
<enableRandomization>false</enableRandomization>
</MacRandomization>
</WLANProfile>

The XML file is ready to be imported into SCCM console. Go to:

• Assets and Compliance
• Compliance Settings
• Company Resource Access
• Wi-Fi Profiles

Check the following box: Import an existing Wi-Fi profile item from a file:

Select Windows 10 platform:

Now the last step is to deploy the profile on your SCCM collection. So, just right-click the Wi-Fi profile and select Deploy. Refresh the SCCM policy on your client to get this profile.
