I wrote up this tutorial for my coworkers but my boss is reluctant to let me give it out. He's afraid i will create too much additional support work for me.

So rather than let it collect dust on my hard drive I thought I would at least post it here for everyone else's reading pleasure.

If you have additions, changes, find errors, etc. let me know and I'll update as appropriate and give credit where due.

Also, this does not have anything to do with WDS directly; though I'm sure that some of the processes described in the document may apply.
