Deploying Azure Point-to-Site VPN client using GPO

Hi there

I got a ticket recently to push Azure Point-to-Site VPN cilent using GPO (Group Policy Objects) and got this successful by doing the following:

Configure Azure Point-to-Site VPN

Download Azure Point-to-Site VPN client executable from https://portal.azure.com

Download Winrar

Decompress the Azure Point-to-Site VPN client to c:\temp\azurevpnclient\ folder

Copy the setup-vpn.ps1 file to c:\temp\azurevpnclient\ folder

Run the PS1-To-Exe and search for the setup-vpn.ps1 at the c:\temp\azurevpnclient\ folder and follow the Wizard until you complete this step

Now you have the setupazurevpn.exe file at c:\temp\azurevpnclient\

Create 02 GPOs in ADDS (Active Directory Domain Services)

GPO #1 Name: Push-AzureVPNClient

this GPO will push the azure VPN client setup file silently to computers – file created on step 7 above

GPO #2 Name: Push-AzureVPNPFXfile

this GPO will push the azure PFX file silently to users with the self-signed SSL certificate used on step 1 above

on my LAB I used one single GPO to push both the SSL certificate and the Azure VPN client

Tip: This same custom deployment can be pushed by SCCM CB (System Center Configurations Manger Current Branch)

Attention: This custom deployment is not supported by Microsoft.
