Context

Cisco offers a Start Before Logon (SBL) VPN component that provides a mechanism for joining MIT's network through the VPN before the typical Windows logon. This ensures that a computer can contact the domain controller for authentication as well as receive group policy. This also provides network connectivity at logon for mapped drives and printers but also can provide network connectivity for other MIT services that typically are only available while connected to MIT's network. This will provide for an overall computing experience that more closely replicates being on-campus.

Deploying the Start Before Logon Module via MECM

The End User Computing team has provided a Cisco AnyConnect Start Before Logon package in MECM for you to deploy to your computers. This package is listed under MIT Applications and is labeled as 'EPM - Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client VersionNumber with Start Before Login Module'. This application will install both the Start Before Logon component as well as the main Cisco AnyConnect VPN client.

This package includes a component that provides an additional logon field at the Windows logon screen. This is located in the lower right corner of the logon screen as illustrated in the screenshot below. Best paint brush for smooth finish.
