Macbook Pro asks for wireless password after waking or restarting

I manage a school network of 250 laptops and im having a problem with about 90% of the laptops. When the laptop is closed or restarted it always asks the students to type in the wireless password.


I have checked keychain and the wireless password is saved there.


I have tried erasing the keychain entry and recreating it. That didnt work.

I have tried erasing the System Configuration folder and recreating it. That didnt work.


I put parental controls on the student accounts originally but because it was causing a lot of strange issues like iDVD not working and constant errors from google updaters, i turned off parental controls. I was thinking maybe that had something to do with it.


Any suggestions on how to make the laptops stop asking for wireless passwords?


Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Ive tried repairing the keychain, resetting the keychain, deleteing the keychain and none of them have worked.


I really think turning on parental controls and then taking them off is the issue.


I have completely recreated profiles and it still happens, so im led to beleive its at a system level not a user level.


Does anyone know where i can find the file com.apple.network.wlan.ssid?


Any other ideas?
