I have about 300 laptops I need to attach to a network thru numerous
access points. I have not made a decision on the make/model of the
access points. All of the laptops will be WinXP SP2. I would like to
set them up with some type of WPA. I would also like to have a random
shared key generated, if possible, then distributed to the laptops
automatically with out user intervention. We do not have Active
Directory and do not want to have to keep track of username and
passwords w/ a RADIUS server. This is a school environment so security
is not much of an issue, but I do not want just anyone coming in and
attaching to our network.
I would appreciate any help with determining a direction I could go. I
have noticed a setting within the XP wireless client saying something
about the key be automatically sent to the client.
Thanks for your time and help
