Agreed, glad to hear it's already working for some, excited to give it a try myself! How does it affect the Meraki licensing aspect since catalyst's don't need licensing if understand correctly?

Agreed - They've integrated Anyconnect into several MX devices now with new firmware (THANK YOU DEV TEAM!) but haven't integrated this simple option?

Def agree, the whole Meraki Dashboard is all about ease of use and clean UI, seems like a no brainer.

Which settings in particular are you looking for? I ran into issues with the extension causing issues and it ended up being a matter of updating to the latest available NPS extension, I hope this helps and sorry for the delayed reply!

I used the native Windows client VPN.I have not seen the option of using AnyConnect with Meraki MX..are you saying that is now a new option available as I know it's been requested many a time but never came through. Your link redirects to a login I don't have access to. I believe there are other options aside from the Microsoft Authenticator App such as text message etc. and that is configured within O365/Azure AD. Yes I definitely increased the radius timeout to 60 secs as I believe the default is something like 5 secs, 3 times so 15 secs total. Support must be on the phone to do so btw, cannot be completed via email/case comments.

Thanks for the writeup and scripts provided @PhilipDAth this really helps fill a void that should already be present via a "backup config" button somewhere on the dashboard from Meraki out of the box. As user friendly the Meraki line is, one would think this simple option would be made available to satisfy backup config requests from auditors and such for financial institutions and others. I completed the steps and successfully generated the restore file. The only warnings i received referenced MX VLANs disabled - wont be able to restore IP addressing. Does this mean if a restore is actually done, no ip addresses will be restored? Or can you elaborate on the warning message? Also, to avoid overwriting networks, is all that is required to restore to a tentative backup network changing the name of the network referenced (in my case 4 times) to something else and a new network name will appear in the dashboard? Thanks again!

I was able to successfully set this up using Client VPN w/ Radius Auth to on-prem AD Server then using Azure AD Connect for Azure MFA using the mfa nps extension... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-nps-extension The above article was very helpful in getting it all configured. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the quick response, I'll be "making a wish" next as this should be a simple feature to implement one would think. Especially since scheduling of firmware updates is already possible. Thanks again!

I know there's an on-demand reboot option, but is there not functionality in place to schedule a reboot to occur at a certain time? i.e. it would be nice to schedule reboots in the middle of the night. Thanks!

Welp, the good news is the VPN started magically working again which i believe was after a pending Windows Update finally going through and installed. Bad news, i'm not sure what exactly solved the issue besides that update (You know good ol' Microsoft). I did not try running the Network Reset utility in Win10, I wish I had to see if that may have resolved it, but was afraid to touch deep network settings as I was working remotely with the client a few states away and would have had trouble walking them through getting back online if the solution failed or didn't bring the system back online after the reset. I did give the uninstall-reinstall WAN Mini adapters option a try and it did not work. Thanks again for all of the assistance @Nash. Hopefully Meraki will eventually come out with a dedicated client similar to AnyConnect to help alleviate these Microsoft provided headaches!

@Nash I appreciate the response and steps to try out. I gave it a go and the thing still just continues to stay stuck at "connecting" even with the rasphone method mentioned (Looked very promising btw). I blew all VPN adapters away and recreated via powershell and issue still persists. Not sure what else to try besides a case with Microsoft as I'm sure Meraki will send me their way since all other users are working just fine. Definitely open to any further suggestions at this point. Thanks again!

Check out this section: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX-Z/Client_VPN/Troubleshooting_Client_VPN#Windows_Error_789 Any ideas when using Windows 10 with Meraki and AD Authentication but no error message is ever received? The VPN state just continues to hang on "Connecting" status like below: We've tried connecting via settings>>VPN and also using the shortcut from the network icon in the bottom right and same results occur...? Followed all options from the below as well: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Security-SD-WAN/Client-VPN-Issue/td-p/37181 https://www.geekshangout.com/vpn-connection-hangs-in-connecting/#comment-32375%C2%A0 Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Still no dedicated client VPN Meraki? AnyConnect implementation to avoid these Windows bugs??

Software Defined Wide Area Network is best described as the modern aged, secure connection to the rest of the world with flexible manageability. It is the new and improved connection to the internet. You are no longer limited to having a piece of hardware for each and every different function you may require for security, manageability, and ease of use on a network and instead can replace these hardware pieces with a very easy to use "Software" on one device. It will support multiple connection types such as your ISP's connection at home bringing you access to the web combined with another type such as the LTE connection in your mobile phone. This allows fail-over or load balancing in case one happens to go down, the network will still be able to remain up with no interruption to users. The ability to to select the most optimal paths for the data to be routed is in place so there will be virtually no lag time. A modern, yet simple User Interface is in place to control all devices on the network is provided. Think Apple's simplistic UI for the iPhone; it's easy to pick up and get around without a long list of instructions (even your grandma can control with little to no assistance!) It has the ability to act as a firewall, VPN, etc. (These help keep the bad guys out while securely letting the good guys in. You can connect up to your work or school computer from virtually anywhere using secured VPN. In a nutshell, SD-WAN promotes quick setup, increased systems performance, and lowers the overall cost of network upkeep.
