If you're using the Azure VPN Client for Windows to connect to your point-to-site (P2S) VPN, you can run a prerequisites check to identify missing prerequisites and mitigate them. The Run Prerequisites Test feature checks the state of Windows services, background permissions for the client, local setting permissions, internet access, and user device time sync status. You can use this feature to do the following:
- Manually run a prerequisites check to identify missing prerequisites and mitigate them.
- Periodically run a prerequisites check automatically.
The Run Prerequisites Test feature is available in the Azure VPN Client for Windows, version 3.4.0.0 and later. It's not available for other versions of the Azure VPN Client. For Azure VPN Client version information, see Azure VPN Client versions.
Note
The prerequisites check is only available in the Azure VPN Client for Windows.
