Hi, I have an existing VPN connection (in Windows XP) to my office that works fine. For backup purposes, I would like to launch that connection using a script ... do my backup ... and then disconnect. I would like to do that unattended using the schedular. Does anyone know how to launch an existing VPN connection using a script ? and how to disconnect ?
Many thanks ! Marc
Hi Marc,
How about the rasdial at the command line:
C:\\>rasdial /? USAGE: rasdial entryname [username [password|*]] [/DOMAIN:domain] [/PHONE:phonenumber] [/CALLBACK:callbacknumber] [/PHONEBOOK:phonebookfile] [/PREFIXSUFFIX]
rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT
rasdial
Command completed successfully.
