to deploy a wlan profile along with WPA2 key (in plain text so be warned!):
1. Create the profile first and then use:
Netsh Wlan Export Profile Name="<<PROFILE NAME>>" key=clear
this dumps an xml in the current working directort with the password in plain text.
2. You can then run:
netsh wlan add profile filename="<<new xml file name>>" user=all
to reimport it on another machine
