<br />
you can create startup the shortcut on login

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;rasdial &lt;VPNname&gt;<br />
doesn't work for an Azure VPN. It returns this error:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;This function is not supported on this system.&quot;<br />
<br />
A bit of searching reveals that this error doesn't necessary mean what it sounds like because rasdial is supported on Windows 10. It can also mean that there is a format error in the command line. However,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;rasdial /? <br />
shows that &quot;rasdial &lt;VPNname&gt;&quot; is correct.<br />
<br />
I also tried <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;rasphone &lt;VPNname&gt;<br />
which actually works -- except that is doesn't just connect. It pops a dialog that still requires two clicks to connect. <br />
<br />
I'm looking for a command that connects to the Azure VPN all by itself -- no additional clicks or selections required.<br />
<br />
Other ideas?

This looks like exactly what &nbsp;need. I'll report back after I have a chance to try it.

I still haven't had time to try the solution proposed by Jian An Lim but it certainly looks correct. Rather than leave this as a neglected question, I'll close it and only report back if the solution doesn't work. Thanks for the help.

I'm happy to report that the lengthy solution in the article posted by Jian An Lim works as advertised.

I have an Azure point-to-site VPN that works fine. However, Windows 10 has made the connection harder to establish because it requires five clicks: the network icon in the system tray; the VPN icon; the VPN icon in the Network &amp;&nbsp;Internet panel; the Connect button that starts the connection program; the Connect button on the connection program.<br />
<br />
Two questions:<br />
1) Where is the connection program? I'd like to put a shortcut on the desktop.<br />
2) Is it possible to automate the VPN connection on login?

automatically connect to Azure Point-to-Site VPN on login

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
