Configure network settings on clients

Well I've finally tracked down a very annoying problem with using aiport and network logins. I'm looking to find a way to create a new network location and its settings for aiport for all the clients with a shell script. I haven't been able to find any plist or unix utility that would let me create a location, or edit the current location such that:
aiport is the only enabled port
choose to join preferred network
choose to auto join and open network
I'm really hoping not to have to do these steps 60 times in the UI.

I usually use ZTINICConfig.wsf of MDT
to capture those network settings. That means that I add the following two steps to my task sequence:
A Use Toolkit Package step, to copy the MDT package;
A
Run Command Line step, with the command %Scriptroot%\ZTINICConfig.wsf /ForceCapture, to capture the network settings.

  • Configure Network Settings. DHCP is used unless otherwise specified

    Hello
    I have created a task sequence that is used in multiple domains.
    In one domain DHCP is not configured and we need to use the "Bootable media that uses the Configmr infrastructure".
    This bootable media is running fine when DHCP is enabled. 
    However, when I configure the network settings Manual in WINPE the client
    can connect to the SCCM server.
    After SCCM applies the OS image and reboots the network settings are gone and the Task Sequence crashes.
    Is there a simple way to transfer the network settings from WINPE to the OS?

  • How to configure network settings in solaris 10

    hi
    i have downloaded solaris 10 and installed on dell dimension desktop,as i have gone through the instalation guide,i see i dont get netwotk configuration (DNS,DHCP.....)settings during installation,it havent asked me about those settings,It just asked the host name ..after installation i see no network connection even i have my cable connected.ethernet cable connected Its INTEL
    can anyone help me how to resolve this issue

    You could try the Dell site, but I doublt if they will have a driver for Solaris, Linux maybe but not Solaris. Otherwise try the DriverGuide web site. http://www.driverguide.com/
    You could also try installing OpenSolaris if you don't specifically need Solaris 10. Better chance that OpenSolaris will support the NIC.

  • Cannot Configure Network Settings During ol6u1 HVM Install

    dom0: vm server v2.2.2
    vm manager: v2.2.0
    Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 update 1
    When creating a domu server using ol6u1, the network configuration button on the page where you enter the host name is grayed out. I would like to enter the settings during the initial install.
    What can I do to make the button usable. When I do an install in Vmware Workstation, the button functions as expected.
    How can I enable that functionality in Oracle Vm environment?

    Thank you for your answers, they were helpful.

    Could I be having these issues because I am using a monitor and keyboard not a console cable?
    Old style console cable not available. equipment is difficult to procure because I'm in the middle of nowhere.
    Could the issues be because of the 64bit architecture of WAE-674 i.e could I be using the wrong recovery disk?
    Attached are images of the device booting when recovery CD is not inside the device.

    Hi Kristof,
    The problem is that as soon as the serial port becomes active, the device stops displaying the output to the screen/keyboard so you'll really need an "old style" console cable to see what is really happening with your device.
    More info: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/wae/installation/7341-7371/guide/7341gd/7300intr.html#wp1040804
    You can connect a keyboard to any USB port and connect a monitor to the video connector to troubleshoot the BIOS boot process. However, video output is for troubleshooting only during the BIOS boot process. The video output stops displaying when the serial port becomes active. To monitor the boot process in normal operation, use the serial console port. 
    The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connector is not supported.
    The systems-management Ethernet connector is not supported.

  • Smf / sometimes does not configure network interfaces in single-user mode?

    From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/14785
    When booting into single user mode, I often get a message
    on the console
    t_optmgmt: System error: Cannot assign requested addressand only the loopback interface is configured (lo0 inet, and lo0 inet6).
    The system's dnet0 interface is not plumbed any more. Configuration
    for the dnet0 network interface is via a static ip address; hostname
    in /etc/hostname.dnet0, and and ip v4 address for that hostname in
    /etc/hosts. This was a Solaris 10 x86 system, but the same problem
    has also been observed on Solaris 10 sparc, and the hme0
    interface.
    svcs -x in single-user mode reports no problems.
    Changing to multi-user mode by typing Ctrl-D still does not
    configure the real network interface.
    One thing that I've noticed is that smf's log file
    /etc/svc/volatile/network-physical:default.log
    is missing, when the nic interface was not configured.
    It seems that the problem with unconfigured network interfaces
    does not happen when I boot directly into multi-user mode.
    Why isn't the physical interface plumbed and configured when
    booting into single user mode on S10 b69?

    still domain name has't been set, i just wrote this, can anyone tell me how to find the domain name or create one. also the name server is just a fake, but how to find one. If i will be connecting my laptop to various IP whereever i go, so do i need to configure network setting again and again ? isn't there any auto network configuration so that i can connect internet where ever i go and let the system auto configure network settings like in windows XP auto IP configuration detect.
    7. etc/nsswitch.conf
    in this i can't see "hosts: files" but i could see rest of the details. so I inserted "hosts: files dns" in the third line and saved.
    I ran the following command in the terminal to find the details:
    #ypmatch host-name hosts
    ypmatch: the domainname hasn't been set on this machine
    (how to set domain name can anyone tell me?)
    #move/etc/netmasks: not found
    #uname -n
    HOME
    #cat/etc/nsswitch.conf
    cat/etc/nsswitch.conf: not found
    #domain name
    domain: not found
    #ypwhich
    ypwhich: the domainname has'nt been set to this machine
    #nismatch nameserver-name hosts.org-dir
    hosts.org-dir: Error in accessing NIS+ cold file.......is NIS+ installed?
    actually during installation i selected DNS type for network giving a wrong nameserver and domain got skipped later
    #getent ipnodes dns (no response)
    so all these things i did and found by seeing the forum guidelines. I can see the network connection has receivinh and sent packets seems to be working but can't browse internet, also can't ping a website.
    if anyone had the same problem but found the answer than kindly let me know. I am new to solaris but i am trying my best.

  • Network Settings: Configure IPv6, On or Off?

    Hello everyone.
    A while back I read on MacFixIt that some experience slowness in internet connection after 10.4.5 update, and it suggested turning 'off' the IPv6 setting inside the Network settings, found at the bottom of it.
    I was curious and click the button to find my 'Configure IPv6' was set to 'Automatic'.
    In any case, I did not experience any drastic change in the speed of my internet connection after the 10.4.5 update; and I actually turn off my IPv6 setting, which again no so much drastic change in speed.
    So the question is: Should I leave it on at 'Automatic' or turn it off?
    Info: My iMac is connected directly (wired) to my cable modem.
    Thanks and cheers

    I've tried it on & off & didn't notice any difference at all.
    But - if you need to use stuffit expander - it'll crash on starting stuffit unless IPv6 is enabled. found that on stuffits forum after wondering why it suddenly wouldn't work.

  • Configure cRIO Network Settings w/o LabVIEW

    All,
    Does anyone know of any utility software I can use to configure the network settings of a cRIO without LabVIEW or DAQmx? If not is there some sort of minimal MAX install that can be used to configure it? The last time I tried configuring a cRIO's network settings from a computer without LabVIEW took GBs of downloads to get it to work.
    - Ken

    Hello xkenneth86,
    there actually is no stand-alone installation of MAX, but you can get the latest version by downloading any of the NI drivers, such as NI-DAQmx or NI-VISA, or by downloading NI System Configuration.
    I believe the NI System Configuration package is the smallest, it includes NI Network Browser 1.1.0, NI System Configuration 1.1.2 and NI Measurement & Automation Explorer 4.7.2. Please note that this is not the latest version of MAX.
    You can download the  NI System Configuration package from this page, also please take a look at this page for further details.

  • TS1819 Mac OS X 10.7.4. How do I configure my network settings so I don't have to enter the password to my wireless router every time I start up or come back from sleep mode?

    When I first got my MacBook Pro my wireless network at home (Linksys Wireless Router) popped right up and I entered the password and had no problems automatically connected after that. I went to a friends house this weekend who also has a wireless router named Linksys, obviously with a different password. Ever since I connected to her network I have to enter my network password at home everytime I start my computer up or wake it up from sleep mode.
    My questions is what caused this to happen and how do I reconfigure my network settings so that I don't have to re-enter my password all the time?

  • Can I configure my network settings to use two different proxy configurations?

    At work, I have a proxy server, but away I do not.  I would like the correct proxy settings to load in each case.  Currently, I use two different locations.  This works acceptably, but I have to open my network settings and manually switch locations when my location changes.  I have experimented with creating multiple ethernet ports.  I can create a location with two ethernet ports, but I can't find a way to cause the correct one to activate.  The first port in the search order is loaded even if the proxy is not found.
    Please let me know if you can help with this.  Thank you.

    I'm not sure of another way to do what you want, but there should be a Location menu in the Apple menu. You don't need to open the network prefs to change locations.

  • TCP/IP Networking settings

    Can anyone advise where are the TCP/IP network settings (IP address, DNS server etc) on the Nokia N95. I've connected to my home wireless network but I can't do anything with the connection until I've configured the network settings. There is no DHCP on the router to deliver and IP address to the phone.

    It is the same error with server (as localhost), then it is a problem of firewall.

  • PSC 2510 network settings

    The menus allow me to PRINT the network settings but not to SET them. The printer is connected to the router by ethernet, so presumably should get it's IP address by DHCP. It doesn't: it gets either 0.0.0.0 or self assigned. There is no way to set a static IP, and if I try to connect wirelessly clearly there is no way to choose a network or enter the key. Is the printer faulty? It has been used since purchase with USB, but without the required menu options I can't configure it.

    I did not install the CD as the printer is not new, the client doesn't have the CD, but the printer has been working for some time on USB  (I had downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the website. Also on more than one occasion I have been told by HP support staff to use the CD rather than the latest driver from the website, and in every case they have been mistaken).
    Perhaps you could explain how using the CD on the computer would help when there is nothing on the printer to allow you to set the IP address? The computer can't see the printer, as it gets either a self assigned address, or 0.0.0.0.
    I have installed a number of networked and wireless printers including several HP printers, and in all cases it is possible to set the IP address on the printer itself. This is further backed up by the instructions I did find, which told me to go to Network on the set up menu on the printer, and choose the option to set the address manually, as I would expect.
    BUT, at the risk of repeating myself, there is no such menu option on the printer.
    So I can only assume the printer is faulty, and should be replaced with one of another make.
