Q: 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)

    Try going to Keychain Access and under the Keychain access menu select Keychain First Aid.  If that doesn't work, try a reset.

    I tried both of these and neither resolved the issue.  I noticed on reseting the keychain that the entry for the wireless didnt go away or change.

    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?
