We attempted to do it with AutoIt and we got it working on WinXP. After testing with more WinXP machines, we found that the script was very inconsistent and unreliable, so we ended up not using it. We do have a script for Vista that works flawlessly. We wrote it using the built-in netsh commands.
idEngines has a client called "Ignition AutoConnect" that is supposed to work on all the platforms you mentioned. They are also planning to add support for Linux in the near future. Don't know about the pricing though. I'm sure it is not cheap. -Hector From: Nathan Hay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2007 8:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Automating wireless configuration on clients We are researching ways to automate the creation of our SSID on a student's laptop via a script of some kind. Our technicians would pop in a flash drive, run the script from it, and the SSID with the needed 802.1X settings would be created. This would also serve as a way to "refresh" the configuration if the student configured the SSID incorrectly. We need to support XP, Vista, and Mac OS X. Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions on where to start? Nathan Nathan P.
