Wired and Wireless Network Duplication
- by Dave
Howdy!
Running into an issue when some of our client's have their laptop's connected via the wired ethernet network aswell as on the WLAN of the same network.
There is know issues caused to the end clients.. BUT! Being a Managed Services Engineer i get pretty over the alerts that come through on our reports for machine's with the same hostname on the same network!
We are not going to remove this monitoring because it does help a lot with detecting and stopping inferior users and things like that.
So basically.. Question is, is there a way in Windows (third party programs welcome) to disable the wireless network when a wired network is connected and operational.. I know that Windows automticaly 'prefers' the wired network, however they are still both connected and therfore there is duplicate hostnames on the same network.
Could also have stupid issues with DNS and things like that!
Thanks!
