[SOLVED] Wifi configuration package (SSID and MDP)

Hello,

I've searched the forum but haven't found anything, so I'm posting my question here.
Is it possible (and if so, how) to create a package to inject Wi-Fi parameters (SSID + password)?
I found a solution using Group Policy, but using WAPT would allow me to refine the settings on which to deploy the different SSIDs.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello,
it's quite simple, you need to use the netsh command.
The page https://www.it-connect.fr/import-et-exp ... vec-netsh/ will give you the command lines to use.

Good morning

Sorry, I didn't see the reply... Thank you
How do you then integrate the powershell command into a package?
I put the XML file in the package and then edited the setup.py file:

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

def install():
    run_powershell(Invoke-Expression 'netsh wlan add profile filename='monWiFi.xml' user=all')
I think the idea is there, but the syntax, much less so :shock:

Good morning,

The double quotes were missing in the run_powershell function!
I think this snippet of code would be better:

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

def install():
    run('netsh wlan add profile filename="monWiFi.xml" user=all')
Flavien,

Hi Emmanuel,

thanks for the feedback!

Feel free to spread the word about WAPT; word of mouth is also how WAPT spreads. :-)
