Re: Zero configuration registry settings

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It's possible, but it's not clear to me that you could do this for multiple
devices. Things like network keys and passwords are, of course, encrypted
and, since that encryption would be useless if it worked the same on every
device, something is being done to encrypt that information per-device.

The basic steps to answer your question are:

1. Look up MasterKeysInRegistry in the help for CE. You'll need to set this
in your platform.

2. Export the registry, with no attempt to set up WZC parameters in it, from
a running device using Remote Registry Editor.

3. Manually configure the connection or connections that you want to put in
the device default registry using the UI on the device.

4. Export the registry, again, now presumably with the WZC settings in it.

5. Using a comparison program on the desktop, not the differences between 4
and 2. These entries are those that you should try setting in your default
registry.

Hi all,
a common task for embedded systems using wifi could be to boot up and
configure its network to connect with a predefined and existing ad hoc
link.
I think it would be not so difficult to specify into the registry a fixed
set
of parameters like the authentication protocol, the cryptographic method,
an
ip address and so on.
I looked for it and it seems to me that the zero configuration service if
configured conveniently could be used for that. I think that if I can
specify
into the registry the so called "Preferred list" in a static way the zero
configuration service will provide an automatic binding to the network I
want.
Did anyone had this kind of requirement? Is it the right manner to face an
automatic binding of wireless device to a predefined network?

Thanks for any suggestions ...
NicS
