Google ChromeOS Administrator Exam - Topic 2 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for Google's ChromeOS Administrator exam

Question #: 12
Topic #: 2

The security team is requiring Wi-Fi connectivity to be disabled on ChromeOS devices. Using the Google Admin console, how would you configure ChromeOS devices to block all WI-FI connectivity and hide the WI-FI Icon?

AConfigure 'Restricted Wi-Fi Networks '

BPrevent WiMax connectivity

CRemove Wi-Fi from 'Enabled network interfaces '

DRestrict 'Auto Connecting' to Wi-Fi

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

To completely disable Wi-Fi and hide the Wi-Fi icon on ChromeOS devices, you need to modify the 'Network' settings in the Google Admin console:

Go to 'Device Management' > 'Chrome Management' > 'Device Settings'.

Select the organizational unit (OU) containing the devices you want to manage.

Under 'Network', find 'Enabled network interfaces' and remove 'Wi-Fi' from the list.

Save the changes.

This will disable Wi-Fi adapters on the devices and hide the Wi-Fi icon, preventing users from connecting to Wi-Fi networks.

Why other options are incorrect:

A . Restricted Wi-Fi Networks: This setting only limits which networks users can connect to, not disable Wi-Fi entirely.

B . Prevent WiMax connectivity: WiMax is a different wireless technology and not relevant to Wi-Fi.

D . Restrict 'Auto Connecting' to Wi-Fi: This only prevents automatic connection to networks but doesn't disable Wi-Fi entirely.

Wait, can you really hide the Wi-Fi icon? That seems tricky!

A doesn't really block Wi-Fi, just restricts it.

I think D is better. Auto connecting should be restricted too.

C is the way to go! Just remove Wi-Fi from the interfaces.

I feel like 'Restrict Auto Connecting' might not fully disable Wi-Fi, but I can't recall if it hides the icon either.

I'm a bit confused about the options. Preventing WiMax connectivity doesn't seem relevant to just disabling Wi-Fi, right?

I remember practicing a question about restricting Wi-Fi, and I think removing it from the enabled interfaces could be the key here.

I think we might need to look at the 'Enabled network interfaces' setting, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right one for hiding the Wi-Fi icon.

Restricting 'Auto Connecting' to Wi-Fi might be a good approach, but I'm not sure if that will completely block Wi-Fi connectivity. I'll review the details of each option to make the best choice.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to double-check the Google Admin console settings to make sure I understand how to properly disable Wi-Fi and hide the icon.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. The options seem a bit similar, and I'm not super familiar with the different types of pen testing reports. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Looks like the IT team is really trying to make things difficult for the users. Disabling Wi-Fi? What are they, living in the stone age?

Option B? Are they serious? Preventing WiMax connectivity? That's like trying to fix a flat tire on a car that doesn't have any wheels.
