From the MacEnterprise list. I have not tried this. Also note that
the current location will be switched to the new location during the
creation process.

Hi,
I'm testing scripts to create Locations as part of an InstaDMG build.
I’ve
been creating them using these commands in a script:
## Create Wireless profile
newSet=`uuidgen`
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :Sets:${newSet} dict"
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Add :Sets:${newSet}:UserDefinedName string
'Guest Wireless'" /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
preferences.plist
scselect "Guest Wireless"
networksetup -detectnewhardware
###
The detectnewhardware adds all the available hardware to the location
so use
networksetup to configure the location as needed.

If the locations are already present you can switch between them

I was under the impsression that network locations could be created
using
networksetup but I can’t find anything in the man pages, maybe it was
undocumented...
This link may be some use, http://sourceforge.net/projects/

Hi,
I'm facing the challenge that we need to be able to create an
alternative network location, so that the user has a 'Automatic'
and a
'Office'. Challenge is now that this needs to be done by a script
(still not using MCX). I have been looking at PyObjC binding - but
are
a bit reluctant to head down that path if there is a easier one.
Wizards pls. help :-) - and have a nice day.

Apple doesn't provide a CLI way to create locations. I've requesting
this from them but it's "in the queue". You could reverse engineer the
plist entries as others have done.
check out ncutil
http://deaddog.duch.udel.edu/ncutil/
might fit your needs. I don't know if it's still in active
development.

Is there any way to script the addition of a new network location?
I don't seem to see anything in the networksetup command line app.
I see loads of applescripts around for changing network locations,
but not for creating them and I can't seem to get the syntax right
if there is a way with AS.
Thanks
