Is there a way to push out PSK to desktop that currently are open from
GPO? It would save alot of time to push it out instead of touch every
laptop/pc at the client site. Thanks in advance,

You can't actually push out PSK keys with Group Policy. You could try
certificate based authentication, though.

If you want to go the route of auto configing the wireless wpa psk key then you can do the following..

On a laptop with wireless setup and working look at the wireless profile name..

run this command

netsh wlan export profile name="YOUR PROFILE NAME??" folder=c:\

this will dump out the profile to an c:\INTERFACE NAME - PROFILENAME.XML file

You can put that profile on a network share and call it in the imaging task sequence or manually or gpo or logon script or whatever with this command.

netsh wlan add profile filename="PATH and NAME OF THE XML file"

Key shows up encrypted in the xml file..

I have tested this deleted my wirless profile ran the command and it connected right up

Not saying this is at all secure, just giving an option.
