Where are VPN Settings Stored in Mavericks?

So, the short version is;


Anyone know where all the VPN settings are stored in Mavericks; and can I just use ARD to copy that file from one machine to another?



Longer version is:


I've been a user of DeployStudio for years and years for all my Imaging needs, it's worked great in general.

But Mavericks, and these new MacBook Pro's (11,2) models are giving me stress....


I have the latest build of DeployStudio, and it works, I can Netboot with multiple models, (iMAcs, Mac Mini's, Air's, Macbook Pro)

Build number 1.6.4-NB140206

The issue i'm having is builds seem to create fine, but when I put the build on the new Macbook Pro's (11,2) Models. the VPN Configurations are not being read. The Imaged machines show VPN as "Not Configured"..


I've tried re-building my base machine multiple times, the Configurations are postively there when I create my build. The configurations are still there after I create an image of the machine.


But when I put the build onto another (11,2) Model the VPN settings disappear.


I'm wondering if there is a configuration file that holds the settings. I have tried exporting the VPN entries, and re-importing them on the new machine, but when I import them, the come in as LT2 IPSEC, instead of the proper Cisco (IPSEC). So i'm getting stuck.




Thanks.

I think i resolved it. I put the "By Hosts" folder in my User Template, and i think that's what was messing up the VPN and Keychain on my builds..
