Hi

Trying to setup wireless settings for lots of laptops, is there a script or vbs file I can run to configure all my settings rather than manually doing it one by one.

Thanks

What settings are you refering to? You setup everything from within the wireless router and the wireless NIC cards will auto detect and configure themselves to the router settings and proper channel.

As for trying to batch file the laptops to accept a security wep encryption...well I found that it takes longer than just having the encryption on a flashdrive and copy and pasting once a connection is discovered. ontop of that the issue of different hardware installed on the laptops might mean having to write out different batch files and the lot!

Just want to setup the SSID, WPA, key etc. by double click a batch or .vbs file to speed up doing some 50 laptops.

Can anyone help as I have searched google for a script to setup the wireless so it can be run from a login script but couldn't find anything.
