Is there any way to run this script in hidden mode? |
Problem Description For all versions of the Email Security Appliance (ESA) and Security Management Appliance (SMA), some Secure Sockets Link (SSL) certificates issued from the QuoVadis root certificate authority (CA) trust chain before 2021-03-31 cannot b. Yeah, looks like AnyConnect's GUI is completely ignorant of what's on the command line. I can think of a couple options: Avoid the UI completely, and use vpncli.exe that's included by AnyConnect's installer; Wrap a batch file around the vpnui.exe launch, swapping out the preferences.xml file with one containing the desired host. (on win7, my preferences.xml is in my profile at AppDataRoaming. .Note: If opening from Program Files, double-click vpnui, located in the Cisco - Cisco AnyConnect Security Mobility Client folder, to launch the application. Step Type vpn.colorado.edu into the VPN: textfield, then click Connect.
- Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client empowers remote workers with frictionless, highly secure access to the enterprise network from any device, at any time, in any location while protecting the organization.
- What is vpnui exe? Vpnui.exe is a vpnui belonging to Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client from Cisco Systems, Inc. The “.exe” file extension stands for Windows executable file. Any program that is executable has the.exe file extension.

Vpnui Parameters
@Shikha1912, sorry, been a long time since I’ve used this but no, there wasn’t at the time. The script relies on launching the login form to send the username and password. It’s possible that a new client has a cleaner way to make thins work. Please let me know if you find a solution. |
