Child elements

enableAutoConfig

The enableAutoConfig (globalFlags) element specifies whether machines use the built-in automatic configuration service to manage connections to wired networks that require layer 2 authentication (such as 802.1X).

When enableAutoConfig has a value of FALSE, machines must not use built-in automatic configuration service to manage connections that require layer 2 authentication. Instead, the network specified in the profileList element is the only network available for connection. The automatic configuration service will only respond to requests to enable the service.

When enableAutoConfig has a value of TRUE, machines may use the built-in automatic configuration service to connect to wired networks that require layer 2 authentication.

enableExplicitCreds

A flag to indicate whether to disable explicit credentials.

The target namespace for the enableExplicitCreds element is https://www.microsoft.com/networking/LAN/policy/v2.

blockPeriod

The value of the block timeout period. The default value is 20 minutes when the element isn't present.

The target namespace for the blockPeriod element is https://www.microsoft.com/networking/LAN/policy/v2.
