Automatically Adding WEP key

[mbiwpeoyc]

I'm the net admin for the company I work for. I'm trying to write an autoit script to do all the nitnoid annoying junk I have to do on machine builds. I can do all of it except I've been hitting my head against the wall trying to automate putting in the WEP key. The closest I've gotten to date is making something that instructs the users what to do and changes it's output based on what windows are open. However that's a little sloppy in my opinion and I'd seriously like to just have autoit do it all for me, no user interaction. Anyone else done this or have an idea on how to do it?

I did try searching for it and came up with a couple non related discussions, some minor troubleshooting in other sections of the forums..

Thank you!

i created a script that adds in a wireless profile for me - although its using wpa tkip encryption.

it locks the keyboard access, then open network properties, wireless card, wireless profile and makes the changes there.

let me know if that is the kinda thing you are after

That sounds extremely close to what I want...shouldn't be hard for to change from wpa tkip to wep.

i just used window names and said to press what alt key corosponded to the button i wanted to press.

if i could be bothered i think i would use control send on the windows..

will post the code shortly.

Thank you!

Good work craig.gill !!

I have used parts of your code for my specific needs.

However, I had to add a check to see if the wireless connection is infact enabled, rather crude if i do say so myself

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'ncpa.cpl', "C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache", @SW_HIDE)
sleep (1200)

WinWait ( 'Network Connections' )
if NOT WinActive ( 'Network Connections', '' ) then
    WinActivate ( 'Network Connections' )
endif
WinWaitActive ( 'Network Connections' )
sleep ( 1000 )
Send ( 'wireless' )
sleep ( 1000 )
send ('{Appskey}')
sleep ( 1000 )
; Enable connection if disabled
send ( 'a' )
sleep ( 100 )
send ( '{ESC}' )
sleep ( 3000 )
; Launch Properties of wireless connection
send ('{Appskey}')
sleep ( 1000 )
send ( 'r' )
sleep (1000)

And also, whether "Use Windows to configure my wireless network setting" is checked, and tick it if not already ticked.

; Try to get "Use Windows to configure my wireless network setting" checked if not already.....
; Find the green pixel (tick box) in the range 0,0-1024,768
$coord = PixelSearch( 0, 0, 1024, 768, 0x21A121 )
If @error then
   ;MsgBox(0, "X and Y are:", $coord[0] & "," & $coord[1])
send ( '!w' )   
EndIf
sleep ( 2500 )

; Add new wireless connection
Send ( '!a' )
sleep (1000)
WinWait ( 'Wireless network properties', 'Association' )
if NOT WinActive ( 'Wireless network properties', 'Association' ) then
    WinActivate ( 'Wireless network properties', 'Association' )
endif
WinWaitActive ( 'Wireless network properties', 'Association' )
sleep ( 1000 )
Send ( $SSID );type the key in for us

Also, the profile wasn't saving using your script, so i changed it a little again...

;WinClose ( 'Wireless Network Connection Properties' , 'Wireless Networks' )
; Removed ^ as it wasn't saving the new setup, WinClose seems to cancel the settings we just set.
Send ( '{Tab}' )
sleep ( 1000 )
send ('{Enter}' )
WinClose ( 'Network Connections' )
sleep (1000)

Thanks for the headstart tho, saved me heaps of effort. Will probably try and use CtrlClicks instead of send, when i get some free time.
