On connect script in Forticlient EMS

I'm trying to have an "On Connect Script" in Forticlient EMS. The goal is to execute the command gpupdate /force on clients whenever they connect to our SSL VPN because we have some clients always connecting from remote.

 

The admin guide doesn't have much info about this :

http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/3269/forticlient-ems-v1.0.2-admin-guide.pdf  

Page 68

 

And I tried something like this :

 

http://help.fortinet.com/fclient/olh/5-4-1/Content/FortiClient-5.4-Admin/1100_Remote%20Access/840_VPN%20tunnel%20and%20script+.htm

 

<on_connect>

<script>

<os>windows</os>

<script>

<script>

<![CDATA[ gpupdate /force ]]>

</script>

</script>

</script>

</on_connect>

 

Since it's already an On Connect Script box maybe I don't have to put all brackets but I also tried to put this in the XML config directly and didn't work.

 

Any clue?

    It was way simpler than I thought.

     

    I simply had to put gpupdate /force in the box and it works. Clients now update their group policies after a SSL VPN tunnel connection.

    What "box" are  you referring to?  I know this is an ancient post but maybe you are still around and will recall.  Thanks.
