Which two actions would achieve the goal? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)
A. Create a Group Policy object (GPO) to configure a wireless network policy. Link the GPO to the organizational unit that contains the computers.
B. Configure the corporate wireless network as an unmetered network.
C. Configure the corporate wireless network as a preferred network.
D. Manually connect to the corporate wireless network and select the option to connect automatically to that network.
Correct Answer: CD

And finally, if you wanted to change the preferred order for your machine to connect to specific wireless network, you could move a network up in the priority list by using the command: set profileorder name=goose interface="Wi-Fi" priority=1

Windows usually connects to networks in this priority order:
Ethernet
1.
Wi-Fi (wireless)
2.
Mobile broadband
3.
When you connect to a new Wi-Fi network, it’s added to the list, and Windows will connect to that network while it’s in range. If you connect to another Wi-Fi network while in range of the first network, Windows will prefer the second network over the first one.
Mobile broadband networks are treated differently. If you manually connect to a mobile broadband network when there is a Wi-Fi network in range, the mobile broadband network is preferred just for that session. The next time you’re in range of both networks, the Wi-Fi network is preferred. This is because mobile broadband networks typically are metered.
If you want to force your PC to prefer a mobile broadband network over Wi-Fi, tap or click the Wi-Fi network in the list of networks, and then click Disconnect. Windows won’t automatically connect to that Wi-Fi network.
