netsh wlan command

[Ann]

Hi,

I exported our vista wireless configuration using netsh wlan export & use
netsh wlan add profile commands to deploy the same wirless config which uses
WEP keys with open authentication to many laptops. Issue is that after I
added the profile to a new latop using netsh add profile from .xml file,
windows vista pops up a message, it says to type the wep key. Why cant it
import from the xml file. Am I doing a wrong precedure. Please give
suggestions.

thanks

Do you have <sharedKey> session in .xml? Or post the .xml here.
