# Auto-configure corporate email and Wi-Fi

MDM Plus pushes email, Wi-Fi, and VPN settings as profiles, so a new device connects to everything it needs without a single manual entry.

## The problem

Manually setting up Exchange, Wi-Fi, and VPN on every device is slow, error-prone, and generates support tickets when a setting is mistyped. Handing employees a printed "how to set up your email" sheet is a relic — and it still goes wrong.

## The feature

**Quick answer:** configuration profiles deliver email, Wi-Fi, and VPN settings automatically to enrolled devices.

You define the settings once — server, security, certificates, SSIDs, VPN endpoints — and push them to a group. Devices apply them silently, including certificate-based Wi-Fi and per-app VPN where supported.

## The unique advantage

Combined with zero-touch enrollment, a device arrives fully connected before the user does anything — email flowing, Wi-Fi joined, VPN ready. Central management also means a Wi-Fi password change or a new VPN endpoint updates across the fleet in one action, not device by device.

## How it looks in the console and device

In the console you create the email/Wi-Fi/VPN profiles and associate them. On the device, the accounts and networks simply appear, pre-authenticated where certificates are used.

## Use cases in different industries

### Enterprise IT

Provision corporate email and secured Wi-Fi on every new device instantly.

### Healthcare

Auto-join clinical Wi-Fi with certificate authentication.

### Field & remote teams

Push always-ready VPN so remote access needs no setup.

### Multi-site retail

Roll a Wi-Fi credential change to all stores at once.

## Tips and troubleshooting

1. Use certificate-based Wi-Fi and email auth to avoid distributing passwords and to enable silent, secure connection.
2. Test a VPN profile on one device before fleet rollout — VPN behavior varies by client and OS version.
3. Update Wi-Fi and VPN centrally rather than reissuing instructions when credentials change.
