Child elements

nonBroadcast

Specifies whether to connect to a hidden network. If a network doesn't broadcast its SSID, then it's known as a hidden network. If multiple SSIDs are set within the profile, then they must all have the same nonBroadcast value.

If connectionType is set to ESS, then nonBroadcast can be either "true" or "false". If this element is not present, the default value is "false".

If connectionType is set to IBSS, then nonBroadcast must be "false". If nonBroadcast isn't present, then the default value is "false".

Windows XP with SP3 and Wireless LAN API for Windows XP with SP2: This element isn't supported.
