SCCM Task Sequence - How do you connect to wifi and workgroup (after domain)

[Fazza]

I'd like to be able to connect a laptop to a particular wireless network during the tasksequence but the way I have tried doesnt appear to be working. I would also like to put the laptop in to a Workgroup at the end of the task sequence (after it already having been in a Domain during the first part of the task sequence so certain software packages can install).

 

 

Here's how I've tried to do the wireless:

 

 

It just errors out and not connect - do you do it a different/better way that works?

 

 

Here's the 2 different ways I've tried to do the Workgroup option:

 

 

For some of the software to install it initially is joined to a Domain in the task sequence but these laptops need to be in a workgroup when they go out so if I can automate this at the end of the Task Sequence then that's one less thing to do.

Have you got a stage that installs the Wi-Fi Drivers?

You know what, I think the Pandemic has done something to my brain! You're spot on - there's no Wireless driver installed as I've been doing that as part of running Windows Updates after the Task Sequence has completed.

No worries, just sometimes need a fresh pair of eyes to look at it!

Set one going last night and this morning I can confirm the wireless driver is now installed but it wasnt connected to the wireless network that I set in the task sequence. it does manually set OK so the driver is working.

 

[EDIT]

 

I've just manually run the command in the task sequence and it worked so not sure why it's not working in the task sequence.

As part of our Task Sequence I copy the wireless profile to the local disk.

 

To do the connection my command is:

 

cmd /c net start wlansvc & cmd /c netsh wlan add profile filename=%windir%\Wifi\wifi.xml & cmd /c netsh wlan connect name=wifi_name ssid=wifi_name

 

After this, I have a step in the task sequence that deletes the Wifi folder from the local computer.
