1.6 Applicability Statement
The Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol depends on the Group Policy: Core Protocol, as specified in [MS-GPOL]. The Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol is applicable only within the Group Policy framework.
The Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol can be used to configure and deploy wireless local area network (WLAN) (802.11) and wired local area network (LAN) (802.3) settings to Group Policy-managed clients. Configuration settings include, but are not limited to, networking authentication, encryption, and security settings.
The Wireless/Wired Group Policy Protocol is appropriate only for use when the same settings are relevant to many clients. To configure individual clients with custom settings, use the client network configuration UI.<1>
