Hi there.

As it stands, when people connect to our network though the VPN, they do not have any of their mapped network drives (as expected).

I have created (well, modified really...) a VB script that will remap them when it is run. What I would like to know is if it is possible to have the VBscript run when the VPN connection connects?

We are using WinXP client machines with the Cisco VPN Client v4.6.

Have you had any fixes for this? I'm currently in the same situation. Application Launcher in the Options menu doesn't seem to run vbs scripts...

Having the Application Launcher call a BAT file that will then in turn call your VB script that should work out for you.

So the Application Launcher will run the bat file the bat file will run then call the VB script to execute.

Keep us informed as to your progress if you require further assistance.

Hi t_mcnally_2001,

Tried that. Thing is the VB script I run takes about 2-3 minutes to complete. Calling the VB Script through a BAT file causes the command prompt window to remain active and visible in that 2-3 minutes while the VB script runs.
