Disabling the WIFI remotely on OptiPlex 7060?
I have over 60 OptiPlex 7060 deployed. Is any way to disable the WiFi remotely without entering the bios? Anyway remotely? I am in a domain environment.

Manage the Dell BIOS Remotely, Enterprise Guide:
The goal is to push custom BIOS setting with Group Policy.
Before proceed,
After installation, browse to CCTK.exe. On a 64-bit OS, it can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\CCTK\X86_64\. Right click and start an Administrative Command Prompt in this folder. Type cctk.exe and press enter.
wireless-switch is included in Dell CCTK
In your customized bios settings disable wireless

Allows you to enable or disable the internal wireless devices.
The options are:
All the options are enabled by default.

To deploy, create a new folder on a file or software distribution server. Save your custom BIOS settings package in the root of the Dell folder. It allows you to change machine settings through Group Policy.
Next, create batch file in the same Dell folder. Edit it so that it will execute your BIOS package. Be sure that the BIOS package path points to the UNC. An example would look like this:
\\SERVER\Deploymentshare$\Applications\Dell\BIOSPACKAGE.exe
In the GPMC, create a new GPO named “Dell BIOS Settings”. Edit the GPO and browse to the Shutdown Scripts node. Browse to your batch file and add it to your GPO.

do you have teamviewer installed? If yes and all units are connected to internet via LAN Ethernet then you may be able to remotely disable wireless adapter individually. There may be a way to set up group policy to disable wireless if you have Pro and you are the administrator.

I am looking for something more enterprise. I am Domain Admin. Maybe Dell Command has a server where I can manipulate all the dell computer BIOS on my domain and disable futures to all computers at the same time by command.

I find out the command line works faster and is more convenient than the exe package.
The EXE GUI has OS limitations and the command line can be used in PE as well. That's great. I can use this in the MDT environment in Windows PE setting password, bios configurations. Thanks again.
