Importing/Exporting Wireless Profiles in Vista/Server 2008

| | No TrackBacks
Every system settings aspect requires ability to be stored, backed up, in cases when quick system restoration in unattended mode is required.

A command-line utility netsh can be used to import and export the profiles for wireless networks. It will eliminate manual creation of the profiles, especially when you need to replicate the existing configuration. This technique works in Windows Server 2008 and Vista.

To view the profile names issue the following command:

To view the profile names:

netsh wlan show profiles

To export profile into a file:

netsh wlan export profile folder="PATH\TO\STORAGE" name=PROFILENAME

To import the saved profile, run command looking like:

netsh wlan add profile filename="PATH\TO\PROFILE\filename.xml"
