On the General page of the Create Wi-Fi Profile Wizard, specify the following information:

• Name: Enter a unique name for the Wi-Fi profile. You can use a maximum of 256 characters.

• Import an existing Wi-Fi profile item from a file: When you select this option, the Import Wi-Fi Profile page appears. On this page, you can import Wi-Fi profile information that was previously exported to a file (Windows 8.1–based devices only).
  
  
• Noncompliance severity for reports: Specify the severity level that is reported if the Wi-Fi profile is found to be noncompliant on client devices (for example, if the installation of the profile fails). The available severity levels are as follows:
  
  
  • None: Computers that fail this compliance rule do not report a failure severity for Configuration Manager reports.
    
    
  • Information: Computers that fail this compliance rule report a failure severity of Information for Configuration Manager reports.
    
    
  • Warning: Computers that fail this compliance rule report a failure severity of Warning for Configuration Manager reports.
    
    
  • Critical: Computers that fail this compliance rule report a failure severity of Critical for Configuration Manager reports.
    
    
  • Critical with event: Computers that fail this compliance rule report a failure severity of Critical for Configuration Manager reports. This severity level is also logged as a Windows event in the application event log.
    
    

On the Wi-Fi Profile page of the Create Wi-Fi Profile Wizard, specify the following information:

• Network Name: Specify a descriptive name for the wireless Internet connection by using a maximum of 32 characters. This is the name that devices will display as the network name.
  
  

  Important
  Configuration Manager does not support using the apostrophe (‘) or comma (,) characters in the network name.

• SSID: Specify the name (SSID), of the wireless network that you want devices to be able to connect to. You can use a maximum of 32 characters. The SSID name is case-sensitive, so be sure to enter it exactly as it is configured.
  
  
• Connect automatically when this network is in range: Select this option to allow devices to automatically reconnect to the wireless network when it is in range.
  
  
• Look for other wireless networks while connected to this network: Select this option to allow devices to continue to scan for other wireless networks when they are connected to this network.
  
  
• Connect when the network is not broadcasting its name (SSID): Select this option to allow devices to connect to the network when it is not visible in the list of networks (because it is hidden and not broadcasting its name).
  
  

On the Advanced Settings page of the Create Wi-Fi Profile Wizard, specify advanced settings for the Wi-Fi profile such as the authentication mode, single sign-on options, and Federal Information Processing Standards compliance. For more information about these options, see your Windows documentation.

Note
Advanced settings might not be available, or might vary, depending on the options that you selected on the Security Configuration page of the wizard.

On the Supported Platforms page of the Create Wi-Fi Profile Wizard, select the operating systems where you want to install the Wi-Fi profile. Alternatively, click Select all to install the Wi-Fi profile to all available operating systems.
