Status: offline 		We have a need to change the WPA2 keys on hundreds of XP SP2 systems.  GPO doesn't allow for this, as it only supports WEP keys that are auto-generated.  We can't give the WPA2 key out to every user.  The USB wizard exports a utility that appears will make the desired configuration changes, but I haven't found a switch for SetupSNK.exe in order to avoid the two prompts to the user.  The two prompts are "'Do you want to add this computer to the wireless network 'name'?', then again for 'You have successfully added this computer to the wireless network 'name'.'"  Anyone have any luck doing something similar through SMS or SCCM?  I would prefer not to attempt to utilize SendKeys to answer the prompts, as that method has proven unreliable at best.  Thanks for any info you have on the subject.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the tips, I have not tried AutoIt yet.  For some reason, the edugeek.net site is down (at least for me) at the moment.  I'll have a look later if connectivity comes back to see what others have done with it.
