FortiClient VPN to on Premise Domain Controller Before Logon

I am having a Problem I do not see any option on Forti client (just VPN version) to create the VPN to the domain controller before Login in, I have used checkpoint VPN before it has an option called secure domain logon in which the VPN is established before the Windows Logon is there a way to solve this?

 

I have read other posts regarding but still cant find any answer that can help me solve the issue

There is an option, paid via EMS with full version of FortiClient.

I don't think it's possible, but I will gladly be wrong if someone else can say otherwise.

Hi, install a "old" version of Forticlient. One of the latest releases with free Login-before-logon functionality is 6.0.2

Hi already tried that didnt work, I am currently working on a work around using Microsoft native VPN client placing rasdial on a BAT file and running it with the task scheduler.

Hi, how strange that version 6.0.2 does not work
If you still have the desire or the possibility, you can first try to uninstall the Forticlient properly with the appropriate Tool:

Sometimes it helped me to do the complete uninstall.
