Recommended Posts

Hi

All our windows 7 staff laptops are connected to old wireless network..

Now we have implemented new wireless network . The Wi-Fi Security profile for the new Wi-Fi network is WPA2-Personal with AES encryption.

All the staff Laptops are in a particular OU. Now when users power on their laptop, I would like their laptops to connect to the new wireless network and disconnect from the old wireless network,

We don't have radius server at the moment.

Please let me know if there is a way of achieving this through a GPO, so that I can apply this GPO to the OU that contains al the staff laptop.

 

Thanks and any help would be great

To do it with group policy:

 

Open the Active Directory GPO in the Group Policy Object Editor.

Expand Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, and then click Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies.

Right-click Wireless Network (IEEE 802.11) Policies and then click Create A New Windows Vista Policy. The Wireless Network Properties dialog box appears.

To add an infrastructure network, click Add and then click Infrastructure to open the Connection tab of the New Profile Properties dialog box. In the Network Names list, click NEWSSID and then click Remove. Then, type a valid internal SSID in the Network Names box and click Add. Repeat this to configure multiple SSIDs for a single profile. If the network is hidden, select the Connect Even If The Network Is Not Broadcasting check box.

On the New Profile Properties dialog box, click the Security tab. Use this tab to configure the wireless network authentication and encryption settings. Click OK.
