Hello, I am wondering if this is possible. I think it should be, since you
can do anything else by scripting I have found out.

We have wireless access on campus, and our student must go through a process
to setup their wireless. They must add a network, set it as WPA and TKIP, use
PEAP, etc. It is all basically clicking or filling in a few boxes... Can this
by scripted using .net?

This is the steps: http://www.swgc.ca/computing/wireless/xp_setup.html

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Anything is possible with time and .NET, but what you are asking for would
better be done via a JScript or VBScript that sends key strokes to the
Network Property dialog box. I should warn you that doing it this way would
require the user to keep thier hads off the keyboard and mouse until the
script is complete.

Search for WshShell and the "SendKeys" method for more information.

Thanks for the response. So how can I tell if the Wireless network property
dialog box is theiur? and how exactly do I reference the network property
dialog box?

THanks
Steve
