Push out wireless setting. URGENT PLEASE!

[ohbrian2010]

Hello All:

What to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to respond to this post:

We just had a 600 laptop image delopoyment of macbook pro's and since we
were rushed to do this in one day…. i forgot to connect them to wireless before
creating an image. (worked from 5am ~ 5 am)

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO create a login script, where to place it,
and how to push out wireless setting so when a user logs in, it would automatically
bind them to a certain wireless?

We want to strictly do this through our Mac os x server snow leopard.

Please help as I am going back this Sunday to resolve this. I will have to
manually open up 600 laptops and add them to the wireless if i don't
find out a solution.

If you are still in need here is some information.

You can use this article to make your script:

and then you will need a firstboot.pkg to execute your script on first boot:

Are you trying to have them connect to a particular Network or push out Search Domains?

/usr/sbin/networksetup -setsearchdomains "Airport" "www.company.com"

That will do your search domains

networksetup -setairportnetwork <device name> <network> <password>

Will join a particular Network. Must be ran as root.
