Hello,

I looking for information on the best way to prevent users from being able to access the corporate WiFi with their personal devices, while still being able to access it on company issued devices. This would pertain to laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

We currently authenticate the users domain credentials, but that allows them to sign in with any device.

Thanks in advance and let me know if you need additional information.

You can likely make it hard on them to export the certificates by setting the no export options and setting certain group policies but if someone has admin access to a device and has the knowledge it gets really hard. This is not a trivial thing to do so it stops most users. When you get way far into how microsoft stuff works you get outside my expertise.
You might use a MAC address table. Something like Cisco's NAC Agent could be used. Or, make the company policy absolutely clear, then do a manual check from time to time. Fire anyone on the spot who is using a personal device without written authorization for that device.

If we did certificates would the user be able to export the certificate and import it into their personal device?
