Following is the method if you are planning for automating "Wireless Profile" configuration setting for Intel PROSet/Wireless software 11.1.1.3 for SWD/DS. I've included DELL & IBM laptop models in my script. You can change the script according to your requirement to fit in more models.

In order to automate the "Wireless Profile" configuration, follow the steps below:

1. Create Profile file [Profile.p10]
   • Open Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless [Start --> Programs --> Intel PROSet Wireless]
   • Click on "Profiles" button
   • In the Profiles windows click on "Add" button
   • Configure "General Settings" [SSID] and click NEXT
   • Configure "Security Settings" [PEAP User/Server]
   • enter userid@corporate.com under Roaming identity [this can not be automated and user has to change this once the profile is set]
   • Once the profile has been created, select the profile and export the profile using "Export" button
   • The saved profile file will be with the extension .p10 [wireless.p10]
2. Create different profile files depending upon the Laptop model [DELL & IBM]
3. Use a vbscript to check for the MODEL and install the profile file [wireless.p10] silently
4. Run this vbscript as a DS job to install the profile silent install

Note: Once the wireless profile is set, user has to change the "Raoming Identity" manually so that it reflects his/her email address [userid@corporate.com]

Following is the VBscript to install the PROFILE FILE silently.
