Hi,

You can run the command "vpncli.exe" from the command prompt, this will tell you whether the VPN is connected or disconnected.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client>vpncli.exe

I verified this on my client and it works great!

Thank you!

Other CLI options:

ipconfig will tell you whether or not a device is connected to VPN. You would need to know the IP address to look for.

route print will let you know if the device is connected to VPN because the routing table will be modified to send some traffic into your VPN.

Thanks,

Alex
