WN10-CC-000055 - Simultaneous connections to the internet or a Windows domain must be limited.
Information
Multiple network connections can provide additional attack vectors to a system and must be limited. The 'Minimize the number of simultaneous connections to the Internet or a Windows Domain' setting prevents systems from automatically establishing multiple connections. When both wired and wireless connections are available, for example, the less-preferred connection (typically wireless) will be disconnected.Solution
The default behavior for 'Minimize the number of simultaneous connections to the Internet or a Windows Domain' is 'Enabled'.If this must be corrected, configure the policy value for Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Network >> Windows Connection Manager >> 'Minimize the number of simultaneous connections to the Internet or a Windows Domain' to 'Enabled'.
Under 'Options', set 'Minimize Policy Options' to '3 = Prevent Wi-Fi When on Ethernet'.
