Automatically establish a VPN connection if a specific application is
launched. So your users cannot forget to launch it first and will not call you
therefor ;-) Add-VpnConnection -Name VPN
-ServerAddress myid.myfritz.net -AuthenticationMethod MSChapv2 -DnsSuffix
fritz.box -EncryptionLevel Optional -IdleDisconnectSeconds 0 -TunnelType Pptp
-UseWinlogonCredential Add-VpnConnectionTriggerApplication -ApplicationID
%windir%\system32\mstsc.exe -ConnectionName VPN -Force
Add-VpnConnectionTriggerTrustedNetwork -ConnectionName VPN -DnsSuffix
fritz.box -Force
The Example uses pptp seriously you should not use pptp today. Encryption should be set to Required as a bare minimum, Maximum is recommended. The username and password used for authentication are those of the actually logged on user "UseWinlogonCredential". If you try to implement a Machine based authentication instead of a user one, you have to use IkeV2 (TunnelType) with MachineCertificate (AuthenticationMethod) and also the option "AllUserConnection" should be checked. May you also want to add "LogonUI.exe" as a trigger application, so your logon scripts can run (if the user has internet connection at this point, many network cards need some time to wake up, keep this in mind)
