b3tts32 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm a noob here so please excuse me if this has been covered already.. I've done a bit of searching. I'm imaging a number of different model dell laptops and desktops w/ and w/o wireless nics. I've come up with a solution to add our wireless profiles as well as selecting and connecting to the network automatically. My issue is being able to distinguish which ones have wireless nics and which ones do not. Basically if it has wireless I need it to run my other scripts and if it does not then just move on. Regread looks like it'd come in handy for this situation. "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" Is the registry key I found but since we have different wireless nics the keys change from there, and I just need to determine if it has "Wireless Network Connection" or not in those sub keys to run. I can retrieve the names of the connections running this script I found on here but got a bit lost trying to write a conditional statement from there. Sorry I'm a bit long winded but hopefully I was at least clear. Thanks for any help in advance. Dim $i ;Get Network Connection Names $base = "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" While 1 $i += 1 $key = RegEnumKey($base, $i) If @error <> 0 Then ExitLoop $name = RegRead($base & "\" & $key & "\Connection", "Name") ConsoleWrite($name&@CRLF) WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3tts32 Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Any help out there?? I just basically need to use Regread to see if the name "Wireless Network Connections" is in the listed key and if it is run the specified script. Otherwise, just skip ahead.

GEOSoft Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Glad it worked for you. By the way You can speed that up by adding one line of code to exit the loop if a wireless is found. ; Local $i = 0 ;Get Network Connection Names $base = "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" While 1 $i += 1 $key = RegEnumKey($base, $i) If @error <> 0 Then ExitLoop $name = RegRead($base & "\" & $key & "\Connection", "Name") If StringInStr($name, "Wireless") Then MsgBox(0, "Result", $Name) ExitLoop EndIf WEnd ; Edited August 15, 2009 by GEOSoft George Question about decompiling code?
