I need this ability in order to be able to use my server box (Server 2008) as a headless video rendering workstation while I'm at MIX. It works if I assign the task as a login task, but that defeats the purpose for why I need my machine: I need the ad hoc network to be created before I log in (at system startup) and this did not work when I tried it by setting the run time to "at system startup" in the task scheduler.

Make sure to use WPA2 as otherwise you will be sharing you printer with anyone within range of you wireless network as well as opening up your computer to possible attack. The task scheduler UI is a common wizard type setup but if you need help you can just do a web search. Creating a wireless network profile and connecting to a network using a specified profile has decent help in netsh. Then you need to create a task in the task scheduler to run netsh.exe with the command line "wlan connect name=profilename" whenever you login. You will need to save a wireless network profile (an xml file containing the network configuration) for the ad hoc wirelss network. Look up using netsh to connect to wireless networks.
