Export Profiles in WZC - a solution
in [Wireless]

From: Ohad on 6 Jan 2010 10:04 Hi Stan, I was facing the same issue and found a solution. There is a scripting engine called AutoIt that allows import and export of profiles. It can be compiled into a stand alone executable. Yesterday I started working with it and I created two scripts, one that exports profile and another one that imports them. They are very basic, but can be perfected. Download AutoIt from: http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml You can see my scripts either at: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=91018&st=20&gopid=760331&#entry760331 or at: http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t591931-windows-wireless-zero-configuration-wzc-wcn-ufd-and-wpa-radius-winxp.html#post3445154 Stan Cooper wrote: Export Profiles in WZC 05-Jun-07 Is there a way in Windows XP SP2 to export the WZC wireless profiles?

From: Ohad on 6 Jan 2010 10:06 Hi Thomas, There is a freeware that allows that: AutoIt. You can download it from: [CODE]http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml[/CODE] At the following thread I added quick-and-dirty sample of [B]AutoIt[/B] scripts (can be compiled to executables) that allow exporting WZC profiles (including EAP) and importing them. You can manually create a valid profile, export it and then import on all of the other computers.
