Cisco VPN Command Line Connection Prompt

[MariusX1]

I'm trying to automate a number of VPN connections so that I can launch them through batch files and have them connect automatically. The batch file line that does the call looks like this (where 13607 is the profile name):

C:\PROGRA~1\CISCOS~1\VPNCLI~1\vpnclient connect sd 13607

It connects and gets through all of the logins just fine. After connecting, it asks,

"Do you wish to continue? (y/n):".

I cannot figure out how to answer yes to this question so that the automated processing will continue. Certainly someone has dealt with this issue before. Is there an argument I can pass in the batchfile? Any ideas? Thank you!

Anyone have any ideas on this?

My current solution is to use Winbatch to do the necessary steps, but I'd rather not use outside programs unless I absolutely have to. Thanks!

The Cisco VPN client can be configured to auto initiate the VPN tunnel. The link below explains how to achieve this task:

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't seem to work. I put some auto-initiation settings into my vpnclient.ini file, but it didn't seem to help.

The issue is that I need to connect to 50+ connections one at a time through an automated Access DB I've created. I'm looking for some sort of setting that just turns this banner off. I've got to believe that it exists!

I noticed an internal.ini file in the VPN directory which seems to pertain to the banner, but I can't find any documentation on that.
