When our users connect with the FortiClient VPN they are missing their network shares.

The computer is started offline, so with no network shares in the explorer.

FortiClient VPN will be started and the users make a connection.

When the connection is established the network shares do not become visible in the explorer.

I was wondering, is there a command that you can add to a configuration somewhere?

the only issue that remains:

In the manual there is a script which you could use at connecting or disconnecting your VPN.

But where can I add this script to the client? I assume you shouldn't create a batch file and copy it to every computer. You should be able to add it to the VPN configuration somehow. How?

found it

On the FortiClient EMS server go to "Endpoint profiles", "local profiles", find the SSLVPN profile you are using.

Head for the last tab "XML configuration". Backup your existing xml file.

Add the script from the manual (without the file copy part).
