While this is the best way to deploy and manage Always On VPN client configuration settings, it is not the only way. Administrators can also use System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) by deploying a PowerShell script and XML configuration file to configure Always On VPN. Of course, it’s always possible to run the PowerShell script on individual machines. GROUP POLICY Until now, there have been few options for deploying and managing Windows Always On VPN using Active Directory and group policy. This presents a challenge for administrators who still rely on group policy to manage their endpoints. It is possible to deploy the PowerShell script and XML configuration file using a group policy startup script. However, there are many limitations to this approach. Administrators must learn to properly configure the XML file and manage any configuration updates post-implementation. ALWAYS ON VPN DPC The folks at PowerON Platforms have developed the Always On VPN Dynamic Profile Configurator (DPC) to address these shortcomings. Always On VPN DPC allows administrators to deploy and manage Always On VPN client configuration settings using Active Directory and group policy. Their software comes with Active Directory group policy templates that include all the necessary settings and client software that manages the configuration on the endpoint. ADVANCED FEATURES Always On VPN DPC includes advanced features not included in Microsoft Endpoint Manager/Intune or XML. Here’s a sample of helpful custom settings that can be configured using Always On VPN DPC. * VpnStrategy * Interface metrics * Route metrics * Dynamically updated Office 365 exclusion route list * IKE mobility settings * IPv6 routes * And more… VIDEOS I’ve created a brief introduction video for PowerOn Platforms Always On VPN DPC on YouTube. Soon I’ll be releasing additional videos that cover the installation and configuration of Always On VPN DPC and some of its advanced features, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel.
