Create Network locations

[christern]

Hi
Have made google my best friend for some time but can’t find (mostly change location but not helped with that)
We want to create 3 network locations and let the automatic location just be there
1. static IP on en0 and only active port
2. dchp on en0 and only active port
3 dchp (en1)airport only active port
and put it on our image (if possible)
I think it can be done by applescript / automator, bash script and phyton….but my script skills is far from good so need a bit of help
After the image have been transferd to a new ibook we need to start it to make account (our account are made by create user script and we change password later) to the user, and some other things ( start page i Firefox, start / update / check so it works = MS Office2008) so if we have to start a script that makes this network location doen’t matter

Best way do do it? Made the change to a computer (all the same model) and copy the locations and make a pkg of to tranfer to the instadmg image?

TIA

Hi
I made all 3 network locations on a newly made ibook, copy the preferens plist file (/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist) USB drive, made a pkg on my computer (use pakagemaker so I could fix same errors with owner and groups) and put in that pkg i my instadmg system (custompkg, #28 of 28). made a new image and 2 hours later , success, it works, we have 3 networks locations that we want

This should work OK as long as the hardware the image will be deployed to has the same network interfaces. It would fail with MacBook Airs and MacPros, since on a MacBook Air, en0 is AirPort, and en1 may or may not exist (and would be USB Ethernet if it did). On a Mac Pro, en0 is Ethernet, en1 is Ethernet, and en2 is AirPort…
