使用 Powershell 的 VPN 连接没有任何提示

Question

I am trying to connect with a VPN on my server machine using this powershell command :

rasphone.exe -d MyVPN

MyVPN is the name of network i want to connect.

It opens up a windows azure virtual network dialog which prompts for user confirmation. I am manually able to connect with VPN by clicking confirm button but I want to do this without any prompts. I tried -confirm parameters but it is unavailable for rasphone command. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I understand your problem connecting to Azure vNet. Here is the workaround for the same -

rasphone  "YOURVPNNAME"
$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
$wshell.AppActivate('Network Connections')
Sleep 2
$wshell.SendKeys('~')
Sleep 3
$wshell.SendKeys('~')

You get the prompt when you call rasdial. Next you make the network connection window as the active window. You hit enter by sending $wshell.SendKeys('~') here. Sleep is used so that you get ample time as the previous enter again pops up a window for confirmation where again you hit the default selection.

Hope it works for you as well.
