Dear Jim,

1) Thanks and I could make dial-up per scheduled task with rasdial command
2) As ISA is configured to trigger dial-up to external network automatically,
   I am wondering if redial shall be configured at dial-up connection setting
   because there is possibility for ISA to trigger DUN at time of redial startup
   which may cause connection fail...
   If redial at dial-up connection is checked, can I uncheck auto-dial option
   at ISA management console?

Thanks,

Roy Tsao

P.S.: DDNS is applied, it is not issue to discuss.

#1 - You don't need a batch file; you can enter that command directly into the 
task. Since the dial-up connection stays active, it's expected that the 
scheduled task doesn't stop.

#2 - configure the dial-up connection to redial if connection dropped and use 
the dynamic DNS solution for the destination.

Dear Jim,

 

 

1) Only one command in batch file: rasdial ConnectionName UserName Password

2) I am talking about Wan connection through Dial-up at server side.

   It is ADSL and local ISP reset active ADSL connection every 48 hours to

   change public IP address as dynamic.

   If the reset occurs in the night time and no dial-up trigger, I could

   not access to that ISA box from my side. So I would like to know

   how to trigger dial-up on such situation.

 

Thanks,

 

Roy Tsao

Roy,

 

A1 - without seeing the cmd script details, I can't answer that 

A2 - it's not clear if you're talking about the client or server side of the 
VPN connection with regard to the IP address change?

 

If the VPN server IP changes, you'll have to use a dynamic DNS service to 
ensure proper name resoluton. and use a name; not an IP address in the 
connection definition.

If the client IP address changes, you'll have to open the VPN acess to any 
remote IP address, or if you can get the IP range from the client ISP, use that 
list.

 

Jim

Dear Jim,

 

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

 

It is one of ideas I also have but problems are:

  - when create scheduled task by running rasdial command in batch

    file, the command keeps running when I test that batch file

  - The connection is PPPoE, local ISP reset/refresh dial-up connection

    by assigning new dynamic IP address. If this occurs at time of 

    no client connection, how to ensure dial-up on ISA?

 

Thanks,

Create a scheduled task that runs on startup and use the information in this 
TechNet article:

Hi,

 

ISA 2006 SE was deployed in remote side with Dial-up connetion.

All of clients are shutdown in the night time, so there is no active

connection from local network to outside then no trigger of dial-up

connection to ISA. When ISA is reboot at such time, connection to

ISA gets lot as ISA has no dial-up network.

My understanding is that localhost communication to outside does not

trigger dial-up connection, right? If so, what is your kind suggestion

to make ISA have dial-up without any connection request from local network.

 

With best regards,

 

Roy Tsoa
