I found this while trying to get a Cisco ASA vpn tunnel up. \u00a0For some reason the secure mobility anyconnect tunnel would not encapsulate dns or dhcp traffic. This prevented me from being able to access my domain. \u00a0I figured I’d give the 64-bit legacy client a try and after the fix below, it worked fine. \u00a0Here is what you need to do after you install the legacy client to get it to work.<\/p>\n

Hi Everyone,<\/p>\n

Just to update, the legacy Cisco VPN client (5.0.07.0440 for x64, 5.0.07.0410 for x86) is working for some people. You need to apply a small workaround as explained below \u2013<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Open Registry editor by typingregedit<\/strong>\u00a0in Run prompt<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Browse to the Registry Key\u00a0HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\SYSTEM\\\\CurrentControlSet\\\\Services\\\\CVirtA<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Select the\u00a0DisplayName\u00a0<\/strong>to modify, and remove the leading characters from\u00a0the value data upto “%;” i.e.<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0For x86, change the value data from something like\u00a0“@oem8.inf,%CVirtA_Desc%;Cisco Systems VPN Adapter\u201d to “Cisco Systems VPN Adapter\u201d<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0For x64, change the value data from something like\u00a0“@oem8.inf,%CVirtA_Desc%;Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows\u201d to “Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Try connecting again<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please do revert back if this solution does not work.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regards,<\/p>\n
