I was trying to log into work but had trouble making a VPN connection. I use Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client. This post describes how to fix the following error messages when using Windows 8 Pro:
- AnyConnect was not able to establish a connection to the specified secure gateway. Please try connecting again.
Cause This message will appear if the group-policy that the user is connecting to doesn’t have a vpn-tunnel-protocol for AnyConnect. Find the group-policy that user is connecting to. You can see which group-policy the user is using by looking at the logs.
Cisco Anyconnect Not Connecting To Server Settings
- When you connect to your company's VPN through Cisco Anyconnect VPN. You should add the outbound public IP address list from your company to the firewall rules for a Azure SQL Server. You may ask your security admin for the IP lists or check your current Public IP here with connecting VPN connection.
- At that moment the network adaptor of my Cisco anyconnect gets disable automatically. I have no antivirus and also it happens even when I turn off my firewall. Please help me to fix this problem which is stopping me from my whole work!
- Hello, When I try to connect with AnyConnect, I receive the notification 'Could not connect to server. Please verify Internet connectivity and server address'.
- Solution: Determine if another application conflicted with the service by going to the Windows Administration Tools then make sure that the Cisco AnyConnect VPN Agent is not running. If it is running and the error message still appears, another VPN application on the workstation may need to be disabled or even uninstalled.
- The VPN client driver encountered an error. Please restart your computer or device, then try again.
The steps to fix this problem are as follows:
1. Edit a registry entry by running a program called regedit. Right-click on it and Run as administrator. Note that I use Start8, by Stardock, to have a Start button and menu. After you left-click on Run as administrator, your computer might ask you to enter the admin password.
2. Go to the appropriate VPN registry directory called ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesvpnva
3. Double left-click the DisplayName key.
An Edit String pop-up window will appear.
The text under the Value data: field on my computer looked like this.
@oem20.inf,%vpnva_Desc%;Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64

4. Change the field to
Cisco AnyConnect VPN Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64
by removing all the text and characters that are on the left of the word Cisco.
The end result should look like this:
5. Left-click the ‘OK’ button.
6. Exit the Registry Editor
7. Run Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client and reconnect.
That’s all there is to it. Good luck!

I recently updated my computer on February 13, 2014 with Microsoft’s updates and saw that the text under the Value data: field on my computer looked like this:

It is different from what I had originally posted. I’m not really sure how or why it changed and I don’t have time to find out. I also updated to Cisco AnyConnect Secury Mobility Client Version 3.1.04066. As far as I can tell, the value of …

.. works, but the value of

does not work with Cisco AnyConnect Secury Mobility Client Version 3.1.04066.

Changing the Value data: field to

without
@oem10.inf,%VPNVA64_Desc%;
seems to work better, too.
