Getting wireless network to connect automatically with Sysprep

Question

Hello. I am creating a Sysprep image using WSIM. I set it up so all OOBE settings are eliminated at bootup and it boots right into windows with the local admin account a setup. It works great however I notice that my image doesnt reconnect the SSID wireless settings that I setup in Windows which causes me to have to add it in everytime Windows loads to the desktop. Is there a way that I can do this with Sysprep so that the wireless SSID I set will connect everytime for all users?

Hi @RockmanIT

This is originated because you are trying to connect a WPA2 wireless network.

The solution would be to run the next:

netsh wlan export profile name="NameOfWirelessNetwork" folder=c:\temp interface="Wireless Network Connection"

to export all settings related to that wireless network, and then copying to a network location. And then run the following command to import it automatically during installation by creating a "run command" in the unattended answer file or in the task sequence as

netsh wlan add profile filename="\server\yourshare\wlanconfigfiles\Wireless Network Connection-NameOfWirelessNetwork.xml"

Hope this helps with your query,
