Remove wireless profile XP


Recommended Posts

Hey im working on a script as the last thing we run at work to check loads of stuff have been done activation / updates etc etc

One of the things is to remove our tech wirless profile so it stops people coming near the shop and logging in etc

Now the vista and above part is fine

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'netsh wlan delete profile name="profile to remove"',@SW_SHOW)

but i cant use netsh in Windows XP

So im looking at devcon to do that

most of the stuff ive found deals with enable or disable wireless card, which i dont want to do

All i want to do is remove the profile so it cant start

does remove switch in devcon cover that event? e.g. below

devcon remove "profile to remove"

Or does it not work like that?

Clear all wouldn't be a problem unless it was a repaired laptop.

It would be best if i can just remove the one i need.

Hopefully a devcon expert will pass by..

Done a load more with Devcon and its not the way forward, after some testing at work it will quite happily disable the wifi but i need it working and just remove the profile instead.

Ive had a look through the registry but ill check tommoz on an XP machine to be sure if there are any suitable keys

Is there any autoit code that works with xp?

Has anyone any suggestions on the way forward?

Why can't you use netsh on XP?

Have a look here >> some custom scripts using netsh.

Because

Netsh wlan command exists only in Windows Vista, Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 and not for XP.

The wlan addition came along later on..

Ill have a look at you Delete_SSID code though bit more elegant than mine

Thx

Sorry about that, I haven't coded on XP in a long time and forgot about that.

No worries

Its a pain but its probably possible, in the shop we get loads of different types and XP still is common amongst the masses.

Hence why im trying to sort this

We still see win 95 ,98 and 2000 now and again, i had to do a format and reinstall of 98 the other day (now where are my floppies) ;)

I retraced my steps and put

AutoItObject.au3

NativeWifi.au3

oLinkedList.au3

in a folder and used 04-2 ProfileList.au3 tutorial mainly the bits at the bottom

_Wlan_DeleteProfile("my profile name")
_Wlan_DeleteProfile("Renamed Profile (Prof 2)")
_Wlan_DeleteProfile("My Profile3 - Per User")

I ended up with this error

!APIError @Ln[5437] _WinAPI_WlanOpenHandle - The service has not been started.
C:Users**Wifi delete testnativewifi.au3 (2282) : ==> Only Object-type variables allowed in a "With" statement.:
With $oKeyClass
With ^ ERROR
->08:32:01 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

so im still missing something

Hey man, you will need to take autoitobject.dll as well...

Quite a while back I was developing a "netsh wlan" clone for XP - I think it was pretty much complete - would you like me to find it for you?

Cheers,

Matt

I wouldn't mind hearing about that solution either.

I've run into a similar problem and had a think about how I would do it.

So some suggestions for the script (you've probabably already thought of:))

The script sets up the Office WIFI

The script sets itself up for autostart (just in case a tech doesn't remove it before it leaves the store)

On each startup

Wait 30-40 seconds

Check if the stores wifi is present

If it isn't then delete WIFI

Remove the autostart

Then selfdestruct

Anyway those were my thoughts.......... better shared than kept secret ;)

The way this script is panning out is

A gui with tick or crosses against certain conditions

Is the machine activated

Has the software pack we use been installed

are the windows updates done

Has the correct background been applied

Has the device manager any errors

and a number of other checks before the machine leaves the shop

if all items are ticked it allows a button that creates a tech restore point and deletes the wireless drivers and a couple of other things like eject the cd draw as the tech have a habit of leaving os discs in them etc etc

Then the machine is ready to goto customer

Thats what im planning as a last check to make sure the lazy fooks do their job....

But its bad really when i have to make this stuff, shame they can t be responsible and do the checks themselves ...

Opening a CD drawer by code to look for the windows disc ... really!!!
