Is there a way to create VPN in command line?

[oskingen]

Hi, I'm looking for a way to create the vpn in command line or vbscript... But I don't know if it is possible. I made some research but did not find yet something usefull. Is that possible ?

I add the picture to see exactly what i'm trying to do

It would help if you said what kind of VPN you're thinking about in the first place.

What do you mean exactly ?

for more details: It's a vpn to connect from home to the office through Internet.

As far as I'm aware there's no way to create a VPN connection itself via a CLI, but you can create them via the CMAK and install them from the package it creates. However, USING a VPN connection that's installed from a command is easier - look into the rasdial command (for example: rasdial.exe <vpn_connection_name> <username> <password>).

Thanks! Yeah i saw on technet the use of rasdial, also as you said, don't find out a way to do it via cli. I'll take a look at CMAK, i don't know what it is.

I meant that as in what kind of VPN -- PPTP? L2TP? Cisco? OpenVPN? etc

But seemingly cluberti already answered it now (seeing the pic you added to your first post)

CMAK is an optional component of Windows 2003.
