#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : VPN errors 809, 789 and 691 -- the tunnel will not come up Fix : Fix the security association -- key, certificate or service Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-net-vpn-809 Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 25 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Error 789 or 812. The connection reaches the server and is refused at the IPsec layer. HOW TO UNDO IT The pre-shared key can be set back with the same command. No system state is changed. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
