The CM_WiFiEntriesConfiguration Service Provider is deprecated and is supported for backward compatibility only. For Windows Mobile Version 5.0 and later, use the Wi-Fi Configuration Service Providerinstead.

The CM_WiFiEntriesConfiguration Service Provider configures the Wireless Network (WiFi) entries on Windows Mobile devices. This configuration service provider changes the destination metanetwork for a WiFi service set identifier (SSID). If the SSID is already connected, the changed setting is not applied until the next time you connect to that network.

Note:
This Configuration Service Provider is not available on Windows Mobile Standard.
Note:
This Configuration Service Provider is managed over the OMA Client Provisioning (formerly WAP Client Provisioning) protocol.
Note:
Access to this Configuration Service Provider is determined by Security roles. Because OEMs and Mobile Operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this Configuration Service Provider. For more information about roles, see Security Rolesand Default Roles for Configuration Service Providers.
