Deploying wireless profiles
Hi.
Imagine a windows 7 laptop with one or more configure wlan's results in the wlan configuration not working on target machines. This is due to the fact that the wep (wpa2) key is stored encrypted together with the specific machines mac address. Each computer has a unique value for each wlan profile. Here's a way to deploy wlan profiles.
Prior to snaching the maste image use Windows 7 native NETSH command to export the source computers wlan profiles with the key=clear switch to extract all wlan profiles to xml files, one for each profile. The key=clear swith avoid extracting the machine specific hashed key but rather the key in clear text:
netsh wlan export profile folder="c:\wireless" key=clear
Use "Files to transfer" option in the template to inject (the paths here are wierd becaus the're not seen by the target machine but rather by ASD during deployment) the xml files to the image on deployment.
Also include a batchfile to be run after deployment:
netsh wlan add profile filename="C:\folder\work1.xml"
netsh wlan add profile filename="C:\folder\work2.xml"
del "C:\Intel\work1.xml"
del "C:\Intel\work2.xml"
cls
exit
Use "Application to run" option in the template to execute the batch file. I have yet to get this working presumably by running c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe with the switch /c c:\folder\batchfile.bat
