Copy Prefered Networks

I work for a school district where we use many wireless networks. The
teachers are not savy enough to connect to an encrypted network and put in
the password. Is there a way to copy all the prefered networks with all their
keys from my computer and put them on the other computers? We do not have the
resources to do a radius setup.

I don't know how savvy you are when it comes to scripting, but you should be
able to write a VBScript to do this. The connection information is held in
the Windows registry so this would be a good starting place (you can use a
utility which tracks changed in the registry to help you find which keys are
modified).

Interesting, although the question is whether this will work with multiple
WLAN configurations.

Thanks for your suggestions. I found the registry keys but have yet to be
able to even remove and replace them on the same computer through the
registry. It is probly a lost cause untill microsoft comes out with something
like the printer migration tool.
