How may I connect to VPN using the username, password and PSK combo in the command line? Google has been of no help; any guidance will be most welcome.
I want a command to the effect of vpnclient /server domain.tld /username u /password p /psk k if at all possible. (I want to run it as part of a script on multiple systems)

rasdialis the legacy command. – Bob – 2015-10-10T10:19:29.2271

Something likerasdial entryname username password- you might be able to create a portablepbkfile and specify it with/phonebook:phonebookfile. As for PSK... read the further reading links. You might be able to add it to the phonebook file. You can probably create the entry with the GUI and copy it from%AppData%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk@Bob, if you'll put those step-by-step in an answer, I'll accept it. But do add opening the
pbkfile and adding the PSK to the already present line. It isn't saved by default for some reason. – Oxwivi – 2015-10-11T15:48:11.557
