Push wireless password via group policy

Has anyone pushed the wireless password via group policy? Group policy lets you push the SSID but not password for SSID.

You use netsh. Or use 80211x which is more complex.

I've used netsh command for firewall and network settings but i am trying to see how i would use it to update 400 laptops. Have you used netsh this way? I was thinking there should be a way via group policy or Novell Zenworks.

You have to create a profile then import using netsh as part of the build or a startup script.

I've considered that option before but it looks like that leaves your wireless password hanging out there is a read only login script that anyone can access if they know where to look.
