		<description><![CDATA[Tweet &#160; Windows 2008 has built in policy GPO for wireless setting management. You can configure your network setting using Certificates. It is the most recommended and secure way But if you like to deploy the wireless settings using static key, you will have to use other way. The steps bellow describe the way to deploy Wireless LAN settings with a Pre-Shared Key The purpose is to Automate Adding Wireless Profile in Windows. Preparations Configure Wireless settings on one workstation from command prompt run netsh wlan export profile name=&#34;NameOfyourProfile&#34; folder=c:temp interface=&#34;wirelesssettings” Confirm that under c:temp you have wirelesssettings.xml file Open wirelesssettings.xml file locate the following line &#60;protected&#62;true&#60;/protected&#62; Change it to &#60;protected&#62;false&#60;/protected&#62; Under you will see encrypted line &#60;keyMaterial&#62;01000000D08C9DDF0115D1118&#60;/keyMaterial&#62; Change it to your key like that &#60;keyMaterial&#62;Yourkey&#60;/keyMaterial&#62; 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&#34; Deployment Copy your wireless settings xml file to NETLOGON Create a bat or cmd file with the following line netsh wlan add profile filename=&#34;\yourserverNETLOGONwirelesssettings.xml&#34; 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 Note: Setting are applicable for Windows Vista Windows 7 and Windows 2008 Only]]></description>

<p>The steps bellow describe the way to deploy Wireless LAN settings with a Pre-Shared Key   <br />The purpose is to Automate Adding Wireless Profile in Windows.</p>
<p>Preparations</p>
<ul>
<li>Configure Wireless settings on one workstation </li>
<li>from command prompt run      <br />netsh wlan export profile name=&quot;<em>NameOfyourProfile</em>&quot; folder=<em>c:temp</em> interface=&quot;wirelesssettings” </li>
<li>Confirm that under c:temp you have wirelesssettings.xml file </li>
<li>Open wirelesssettings.xml file locate the following line      <br />&lt;protected&gt;true&lt;/protected&gt; </li>
<li>Change it to &lt;protected&gt;false&lt;/protected&gt; </li>
<li>Under you will see encrypted line &lt;keyMaterial&gt;01000000D08C9DDF0115D1118&lt;/keyMaterial&gt; </li>
<li>Change it to your key like that &lt;keyMaterial&gt;<em>Yourkey&lt;/keyMaterial&gt;</em><br />
<blockquote>
<p>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&quot;</p>
</blockquote>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Deployment</p>
<ul>
<li>Copy your wireless settings xml file to NETLOGON </li>
<li>Create a bat or cmd file with the following line      <br />netsh wlan add profile filename=&quot;\yourserverNETLOGONwirelesssettings.xml&quot; user=all </li>

		<description><![CDATA[Tweet In Vista Windows 2008&#160; or Windows 7 when&#160; you right-click the network icon in the navigation area, but it does not take you directly to the Network Connections properties as we are used to in Windows XP 2000 or 2003 . You can access Network Connections management menu by running ncpa.cpl from run menu or you can create a shortcut that will access those menu by key combination. To create ncpa.cpl shortcut Right-click on the desktop Click: New&#62;Shortcut Type the location of the item: ncpa.cpl&#160; Choose a suitable name, e.g. &#8216;Network Connection&#8217; &#160; Right-click on the newly created shortcut Select Properties and seek the dialog box called Shortcut Key. &#160;&#160;&#160; Simply over-type &#8216;None&#8217; with the combination that suits you, for example: &#160;&#160;&#160; Ctrl +Alt +N.&#160; Start by holding the Ctrl key, &#8216;None&#8217; should change. &#160; Now by pressing on Ctrl +Alt+N Network Connection Properties will Open. Creating shortcuts using control panel applets (CPL files) can be be very useful. Here is a list of common CPL files which can be used.]]></description>
