Windows Vista includes a new feature that allow us to manage Wireless connection profiles as .xml files. In this way we can export all or just some of the wireless connections defined in a Windows Vista (or Windows 2008) machine. After that we can manipulate that files to make changes in the connection properties that we can´t do it using the GUI. Once we have the right .xml file, the original one or the modified one, we can import that file and its connections to the same machine or to a different one.
The command to see all wlan profiles defined in the machine :
– netsh wlan show profile
In this way we can see also what profiles have been created by the user and what others have been created using group policies.
The command to export one profile :
– netsh wlan export profile name=”profile name to export” folder=”folder where to store the .xml file”
If you want to export all the profiles just omit the name= modifier.
The command to import one profile :
– netsh wlan add profile filename=”path and name of the .xml file to import” user=current/all
If you omit the user= modifier the profile will be imported fot all users.
Manage WLAN Profiles in Windows Vista : [netsh wlan]
