Disable Wireless network adapter

Guest

We have about 50 Laptops that have wireless connectivity. I would like to
disable the wireless adapter. Is there a way to do this with SMS or a script?

You can do it like so:

devcon disable "PCI\CC_0200"

"PCI\CC-0200" is the name of your adapter. To find out what it
is, use this command:

devcon hwdis "*" > c:\devices.txt

then look for your adapter in devices.txt and select one
of the listed names, preferably one without ampersands.

You can get devcon.exe from here:

Sorry, typographical error. The command should have been:

devcon hwids "*" > c:\devices.txt
