I am trying to create a GPO that disables a laptop's wireless card whenever a Ethernet LAN is detected, and Enable the wireless whenever an Ethernet LAN is not detected.
Right now I have a GPO that works by disabling/enabling wireless when an Ethernet LAN is CONNECTED/DISCONNECTED. This only works for cases when the ethernet LAN is physically connected or disconnected, but not for cases when a computer starts up and no ethernet LAN is detected.
I would have to imagine there is an event that fires for after Windows Searches/tries to connect to an ethernet lan but fails because nothing is availible. I have looked through quite of lot of event viewer sources Wired-AutoConfig and NetworkProfile, none of these seem to have an event that handled ethernet LAN Detection.
I know that if you google this issue there are various proposed solutions: -Built in BIOS option (This does not work across the board for all of our laptops) -Various Powershell Scripts (many are lengthy and require manual customization) or do not work on Windows 7 devices properly.
