Our network team is looking to migrate our wireless network to a new SSID with WPA-PSK/TKIP. What options are there to automate that change to the mobile devices (WinXP) in our domain, whether via group policy or some other method? Our understanding is that the passphrase cannot be included in the Wireless Network Policies aspect of a GPO. Current options we are aware of are below. If there are others or you have any recommendations please chime in! Really wanting to avoid option 1... 1. Sneakernet 2. XML file distribution via script/GPO (haven't tested this yet) http://theether.net/kb/100166 3. Switch to IEEE 802.1X Thanks!
