VPN not working on Windows 10 1903

Anonymous

I am an IT technician at an IT company. One of our clients has asked us to install a fresh version of Windows onto 6 of their PCs.

These PC's are old PC's that they do not use - meaning that they have had a fresh version of Windows installed onto them. This has been upgraded to 1903. I have attempted to setup a VPN connection in order to connect the PC's to the company's domain. When doing so, the VPN connection just hangs on 'Connecting to vpn'

I know 1903 is still very new into the world, but wondering if anyone knows how this issue can be resolved?

    Follow these steps to resolve your issue. make sure you are running an administrator account.

    1. Reinstall VPN Software
    2. Reinstall WAN MiniPorts
    3. Troubleshoot TAP-Windows Adapter
    4. Insert an Exception for UDP by editing The Registry
    5. Configure Firewall
    6. Disable IPv6

    So that was some of the best steps that you can perform easily to set up a VPN on windows. If this still doesn’t fix your problem then try asking a network expert or your VPN provider’s support team.

    not an appropriate solution.  IT needs to move forward, not backwards.

    Paulie thanks for the work around. Talk about going "back in time." At least I can now connect to my VPN until 1903 has been properly fixed.

    KoreLinq thanks for giving the information in this thread as well. I'm just thankful this update hasn't been pushed down to my typical remote users and I've only had to deal with it so far.
