Exporting Dial Up Connections

I need to find a way to export dial up information from one computer and
import it to another. We have many laptops that will travel every once in a
while and will connect via dial up to the Internet through an ISP. Without
having to install their software or configure a connection manually on each
laptop, how could I distribute a dial up connection with all settings,
including username and password?

Thanks in advance,
Brooke

Brooke,

Look for a file RASPhone.pbk in  "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk".  You can copy that
file from one computer to another.

Great, Thanks! Ok, got that now. Is there a way to migrate username and
password settings as well?

Thanks,
Brooke

Try the File and Settings Transfer Wizard (Accessories - System Tools).

You may try netsh. However, the best way to do is use CMAK so that you delivery pre-setup dialup connection for all users. These search results may help.
