Windows 10 Laptops Wifi Config Question

I'm going to deploy Meraki SM to 90 Windows 10 laptops and I was wondering what is the "best practice" for setting up access to the corporate wifi.

Currently it is done via group policy. Once a laptop or desktop joins AD, they get a group policy with all the wifi settings and certificates.

I see that in SM there is a way to also deploy wifi settings to devices.

Is there a preferred way to do it? Does one offer an advantage another doesn't?

 

Follow up question: Could SM enforce connecting to corporate wifi when within a geofence, but allow other connections when they are at home?

I would keep doing it this way.

I don't think geofence is supported on Windows machines.

Thank you. I'll keep going the group policy way for wifi settings.
