Need help creating automatic setup of WiFi for XP Win 7, etc... Get errors on XP

I have 100s of Win 7 and Win XP computers and I need a way to automatically configure WiFi. Some will be made for students and others for personnel etc. I did hours of research on this mega and using a Win 7 PC to create export to a USB key that is susposed to work on all versions of XP upwards. But, of course, it isn't. This works for Windows 7 and Vista, but not for XP.

Here's what I did...

1 a tried using the XP "Wireless Network Setup Wizard" to my XP PC. But it is defective and not allow you to create an installation WITHOUT any encryption, of course it is not acceptable as our WiFi does not use it. We use a system of Access Point Aruba which forces authentication VIA AD/connection on the first attempt to navigate the web. No encryption AT ALL as much as the WiFi client installation is concerned. I also did a profile exactly as I want only it except that I put in bogus WEP settings so it creates the SMRTNTKY with the WSETTING file. WFC file in it and then edited the. WFC to remove file but then it wouldn't work which is NOT ACCEPTABLE.

2 went to a Win 7 PC as it does from there is supposed to work on Vista and XP too and had no problem using the option 'Copy this network on a USB flash drive profile' and it works perfectly for Win 7 and Vista, but - error on XP with the following message...

The wizard found no information needed to set up a network, or the information was not usable. Try to rerun the wizard to your original computer.

After reviewing the files generated between the XP method to export a WiFi profile to a USB key and how to Win 7 well, I found the following differences, all related to security settings. Of course, it's a bug or a design defect and a BIG problem for the IT Pro.

Here's what my two WSETTING. Resemble WFC files.

For XP I have:



   
        011C0F3E-EB0F-46B8-BA95-267ADEA25EC3
        0B4E59B8-8317-46B2-B8C2-C46850162E6C
        The Microsoft Wireless Network Configuration Wizard
   

    Student
    ESS
    0

        Open
        WEP
        12345
        0
        0
   

For Win 7 I have:



   
        01BC3658-4F27-42D1-92F7-3F7CF581A75E
        0B4E59B8-8317-46B2-B8C2-C46850162E6C
        The Microsoft Wireless Network Configuration Wizard
   

    Student
    ESS
    0
    0
   
        Open
        None
       
        0
        0
   

There seems to be ONLY two lines which differ between the two files and are as follows...

For XP:

WEP
        12345

For Win 7:

None
       

As you can see that the difference is in the security settings that I don't use. (This is a choice made by the powers above me and I have to work with that. MS should keep in mind at ANY moment the IT pro should have the last say on optional parameters is NOT MS)

It seems that Microsoft, when they created this tool never intended be used by computer professionals as they force the settings for the IT Pro to decide at ANY TIME, not Ms.  IE to use WEP/WPA etc, or NONE.

So am I missing something? How do I create an automated way I can run thousands of times without error on XP, Vista or Win 7 to configure profiles WiFi which will have NO apparent safety, but who actually do?

I would VIA reg setting if I knew where to find all the reg settings to do, but the hours of Googleing gave this info. Everything seems to point to the network VIA USB method profile, which would be perfect if it worked on XP. If there was a simple file I could copy from a master system of its many clones then it works. I could wrap it in one. BAT file or use INNO Script to create a file of configuration etc. Many ways I could do if I could find any files, settings, etc., I would need control.

It shouldn't be rocket science. I've seen where Microsoft has said they recognize the need for professionals like me to be able to automate this process for any tech user, but then the tools thay do aren't for the professionals that they take away the option of PROFESSIONAL (on-site tech who knows the most, is NOT MS) to decide, using their knowledge intament businesses must make choices about the use or non-use of WEP etc (it's a theme common in MS assistants, just look at the hack job SYSPrep is based by default on the local Administrator profile profile, a MAJOR mistake and a security risk, rendering it useless in a corporate environment where the local Admin profile is preconfigured with options parameters, links, etc. to the things a pro IT does not that the general user to see or to do but they need on the local admin ONLY)

Thanks for any help you can give.

  • Need help creating a shell game

    I use Flash 8 that I haven't used since ' 06, so I don't know how to do much.

    I am trying to create a shell game. I have a chart of the shell I want to load to the scene. Because now I will load 3 of them, but I want it to be variable so I can add shells more if I want to.

    So I guess I have 3 questions:

    1. how to dynamically load the graph?

    2 is it better to use them as graphics or should they be a movieclip?

    3. how to move or mix the shells? I mean, what is the best way to move the shells because I need 2 shells move at the same time.

    Thanks for any help,

    Joe

    Place the image into a movieclip in the library and give it a link ID (right-click of the mc in the library and select link).  Then, you can use the attachMovie() function to dynamically load the shell of movieclip instances.

    For mve shells you can use the built-in Tween class, or a third party to the tweening class as TweenLite/TweenMax.  You can also use an onEnterFrame approach.  If you need help with these, try Google search using terms like "Tween AS2 tutorial" or «AS2 onEnterFrame tutorial»

  • Need help on setting up a notification for time pay a slowdown

    Greetings,

    I am a beginner in PeopleSoft, and am looking for guidance.  We have recently upgraded to 9.2 9.0.  Delivery time is new for us and we want to make it work.  I am looking to set up a notification for the employee who entered in time is informed that access to his approving manager pushed the return time.  Currently, they see it only if they go back and look at their status recorded time.  We auto approve time recorded for managers only approving / growing time pay back.  I am new to the process of notification any suggestions will be welcomed.  Thank you in advance.

    I don't have a handy HCM environment, but I was checking the documentation and it seems a bit contradictory in this area. The chapter 'Understand the approval process in time and work' initially said.

    The approver has the opportunity to push the demand of the time. The author of the request of time receives a notification that the time request needs their care.

    but a little further away, there is a table that says:

    Model name Description of the event

    Reported HC_TL_MGR_REP_PUSH_BACK back button is pushed, approver notified.

    HC_TL_MGR_PAY_PUSH_BACK Payable is pushed, approvingly reported.

    Application of HC_TL_MGR_OT_PUSH_BACK of overtime is pushed backwards, notified applicant.

    Don't know why time reported and pay would be setup to notify the approver - could be a documentation error.

    You should be able to verify by looking at setting transactions approval framework for the process of TLPayableTime. In the grid of events, find the Push Back event and check the grid of Notifications to see how it is configured.

    If the Participant's approval then the documentation is correct, and you could log a case with Oracle wonder why - if you can convince them it's a bug, so they can provide you with instructions on how to change it to the applicant.

    If the Participant is seeking, then you will need to examine the rest of the facility to see why notification is not produced.

    Kind regards

  • New GoPro camera need help with rate of 240 fps for idle

    I'm enjoying the possibilities offered by the new extreme sport GoPro camera and need help when it comes to using different rates in Premiere Pro. The pictures I brought in was shot at 240 fps and are indicated as such in the project Panel. However, when I preview the item in the Source Panel he rereads at normal speed and he has not slowed down. If it was shot at 240 fps so I think that Premiere Pro would play this back to 29.97 FPS and true would be slowed down.

    I am a beginner and you have to learn how to treat slow clips that I bring that are supposed to be slowed down.

    TIA,

    Ken

    Rod,

    You are not wrong, exactly, but I must respond to some of your statements. Premiere Pro is not what some think to do this. Craig and I had this conversation recently. When it Premiere Pro sees 240 fps on a sequence of 24 frames per second, it gives executives. About 90% of them.

    Keep in mind that some people turn it quickly because the action is fast, and they want that expected as fast they can project.

    Let's say you have a movie projector that shows 24 fps. No matter what film reel you load into this projector, you see the film at 24 frames per second.

    Premiere Pro will change the 240 IPS or 60 frames per second to 24 frames per second by dropping frames. It is not generally what people want if they have bothered to get away with it. Yes, it shows you 24 fps, but by dropping frames, is not playing frames one at a time.

    This means that if you shoot at 48 frames per second, you get slowed down when projected at 24 frames per second.

    Only if interpret you it or use an effect to slow it down. The effect is not as accurate as the interpreter.

    Think of it THAT WAY and find out what you have to do to make your premiere pro version are TREATING your images like it is projected at 24 frames per second.  In other words, no boxes are deleted. No boxes are added. NOTHING moves the way you SHOT IT.  Each image you shot will be used exactly as you he turned.

    Once again, that if interpret you it this way.

    This is NOT MATH or EFFECTS etc.

    Well, if interpret you it this is not mathematics, but if you slow down using a percentage, then it is math, and I do not think that it slows down the effect of which is the right way to do it.

    Don't download misled by all unwanted people enter with making it slower or faster time with interpolation.

    If you can not Surdemarrage or shoot at a higher rate, interpolation is all you have. But Ken did not have this problem, thank God.

    If you don't know exactly which continues with the sequences interpret things adobe has some help specify exactly files.

    There's not much to it. If you want to slow down 50% interpret it at 120 frames per second. If you want to slow down 90%, interpret it to 24 fps. Anything in between is up to you.

  • Need help creating tip Action for Navigation "Inside-the-same-slide" to let the user Play slide again

    I use 8 Captivate. It is a scenario of HTML5.

    I have need of a button which will allow the user to "replay" the slide. I don't want the button to take the user to the front, back, or do anything else. I want the button to start the slide at the beginning and play without interruption until the end.

    I am looking for help on how to do this using variables and advanced for HTML5 actions or, Alternatively, recommendations on the good tutorials for advanced actions. I prefer the tutorials that will allow me to start at the bottom. I was not able to find tutorials advanced action that assume no prior experience.

    I know that each new user must say this, and I'm afraid that's true for me too. If I can't create a HTML5 work quickly replay button, it will get me in trouble with the client.

    Try this:

    cpCmndGotoSlide is a system variable, which the index starts at 0. The variable cpInfoCurrentSlide system includes an index starting at 1. The reason for the subtraction in this Expression. You need to add continue because a tip action will not release the read head.
