Windows 10 requires at least 3 clicks in various locations to connect a VPN using the built-in client. Make life easier on your end users by dropping a batch file on their desktop that dials the VPN, maps the appropriate drives and then pops them open in windows explorer.
<connectionName> is the name of your saved VPN connection
<\\server\share> is the location of the drive you want to map
<driveLetter> is the drive letter you want to connect to
Batch file looks like this:
rasdial <connectionName> net use <\\server\share> /delete net use <driveLetter> <\\server\share> start <driveLetter>
The second line that disconnects another share using that drive letter isn’t necessary but I usually put it in there just in case. Also, I usually use the IP address of the server instead of its name just in case there is an issue with name resolution 🙂
