We are looking for a way to disable a wireless card with GPO if
a LAN connection is detected.
We want to prevent users from connecting via wireless and LAN at
the same time. Clients are Windows XP. Is there a way to do
this with Windows 2003 GPO?

Thanks in advance,
George Lane

This is not something that Wireless Group policy can do for you. Currently
Wireless Group Policy allows for client side configurations of wireless
settings but no means to detect or block an adapter from connecting in any
case.

For exactly the same reason I wrote a system-service that permanently checks
LAN-status and activates/deactivates the wireless adapter accordingly. If
someone finds a better solution for this problem please be so kind and post
it here.
