[mdt] Wireless

[GRitchie]

Hello,

Is there a way I can input a wireless network key with MDT/WDS so I don't have to enter this manually?

 

Still trying with the fully automatic build!

^ Create an application in MDT to run the 'net sh' command.

Got it here -

• Configure Wireless settings on one workstation
  
• from command prompt run
  netsh wlan export profile name="NameOfyourProfile" folder=c:\temp interface="wirelesssettings”
  
• Confirm that under c:\temp you have wirelesssettings.xml file
  
• Open wirelesssettings.xml file locate the following line
  true
  
• Change it to false
  
• Under you will see encrypted line 01000000D08C9DDF0115D1118
  
• Change it to your key like that Yourkey
  
  Note: It means that your wireless key will be in clear text and everyone who has access to the file will be able to read your wireless key"
  
  

  Deployment
   
  

  • Copy your wireless settings xml file to NETLOGON
    
  • Create a bat or cmd file with the following line
    netsh wlan add profile filename="\\yourserver\NETLOGON\wirelesssettings.xml" user=all
    
  • Run the bat file from some domain member computer and confirm that it works
    

  After finishing all steps above you can deploy the script from GPO

Sorry, I might be missing something here but you can deploy wireless configuration using GPO by default without need for a script.

iirc that only works if youre using radius

You can if you use WPA Enterprise. With WPA2 the network name can be configured but you have no option to enter the password.

Sorry yes you're right you can't enter a password in any of the authentication types (though it does support everything from Open to WEP, WPA Personal, Enterprise and WPA2).

 

Oh and it's not directly related to Radius.
