Administrators can create Location Profiles and export and save them as a
separate .xml file for distribution as part of a hard disk image or installation after
client systems have been deployed.
The following two methods are available for distributing saved profiles to other
Dell portable systems:
• Import .xml profiles locally by running the Import Settings function from
within DCP Connection Manager.
• Distribute .xml profiles remotely using any software management system or
Microsoft
Windows Group Policy Objects based on a predefined policy. The steps required
for creating and distributing .xml profiles are as follows:

the Profile Wizard open
DCP Connection Manager → Profiles , then click
Add . Complete all of the Profile Wizard screens necessary to include all the
Network Connections and Network and User-Related Location Profile
Settings
for the profile you want to create.
2 Go to the Global Program and Network Settings screen to set any global
application settings for the profile you want to create. Open
