Airport Preferred Networks List

[Goldberg]

Hello All,

I’m new to InstaDMG and I’m having good success with making the image. I’m struggling with some basic settings. Specifically, I’m trying to figure out how to script the Airport connection to connect to our open network and get our network name into the Preferred Networks list.

Thanks!
Goldberg

The easiest way to figure out what changes a setting like this is making on your computers is to use PacakgeMaker and have it watch for a “Snapshot Package” while you make the configuration change. Then you weed through the files that were changed while making the configuration change, and figure out what the best approach to distributing that change is.

If the change is fairly simple, and you don’t think that overwriting those files will clobber anything else, then you can use the product of the “Snapshot Package” in InstaDMG.

I honestly have never done this particular setting, so I can’t say how it will work out, but this would be the approach.

Ok, item number one, look at this thread:

Then, though I tend to use fseventer to [url]http://tc.versiontracker.com/product/redir/kind/1/vid/11001830/[/url] figure out what has been changed, rather than the snapshot packaging.
And there is always [url]http://tc.versiontracker.com/product/redir/kind/1/vid/512908/[/url] LANrev Install Ease as another free offering for making packages.
You will likely have to play with byhost prefs, so make certain you change their identities to match each new machine.
