[Casper] Changing wireless settings across a number of systems

[Thomas Larkin]

ARD has a built in network setup command you can script out and use.  In
10.5 they (Apple) relocated the command into /usr/sbin I think...

Here is the full command path

/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Support/networksetup

You can script using it, and I have one to modify proxy settings and it
works

I have been able to bind using airport -A but rebooting the system
reverts it back to not knowing the password.  Did I miss a step?  (This
is currently on 10.4.8).

[Casper] Changing wireless settings across a number of systems




We've got a test lab of systems that I'm trying to change the wireless
settings on.  We are changing from a problematic PEAP setup to a PSK
environment.  Systems are configured with Parental controls and Simple
Finder.  They are unable to change anything in the Control Panel shy of
the screen saver.   Building a package to be deployed by Casper grabs
the system.keychain file which is bad news for all of our existing
systems as pushing a package with this seems to put the target machine
in a very difficult to remove loop of removing the keychain, and
manually adding in the settings physically on the machine.

Anyone found a way to get around this?  I'd basically need to push
wireless settings across the command line with a script that uses that
password with networksetup or find a way to push the item into the
keychain from SSH.

Something like step 4: here has potential except for the fact that it
must be run as the currently logged on user and our lab user cant access
the Network settings.

Thanks in advance!
