Thank you but that was not the question.  To the agency, this is one layer
of security, in addition to WPA, etc.  The question is whether the wireless
config could be scripted.

Hidden SSID's are false security and may even be a security hazard for
mobile users whose devices are configured with the hidden SSID:

Quick question :

 

Scenario-agency has a wireless access point with SSID broadcast disabled, so
the SSID must be explicitly entered on each ‘authorized’ wireless client.

 

Can this explicit entry of the SSID be scripted to automate across multiple
systems ???
