Instead of the proposed line. use the following and modify the ip to what you require. This filters it down to one result, making the script work ALWAYS. ipconfig | findstr /c:"IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.3.1." enjoy. If the user has the check box under:
right click on vpn
click properties
click networking tab
highlight tcp/ip
click properties
click advanced
and buried here you find a check box which adds their pptp as a gateway
This causes the script to return 2 answers when findstr for the ip.
this breaks the script bad. Instead of the proposed line. use the following and modify the ip to what you require. This filters it down to one result, making the script work ALWAYS.

ipconfig | findstr /c:”IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.3.1.”

enjoy.

Here is a ps1 script that takes the interface name, the ip to route and the ipmask and routes an ip trough a interface. It can be a vpn or a normal network card. It utilizes route.exe for route adding and .net for NIC IP determination. It also deletes a route. param( [string] $InterfaceName = "Grupo Visabeira", [string] $IP2Route = "192.168.3.138", [string] $IPMask = "255.255.255.255", [SWITCH] $Delete) #$delete = $true IF ($Delete){ $local:res = route delete $IP2Route IF ($local:res -match 'OK!'){"Route $IP2Route Deleted"} ELSE{"Error Deleting $IP2Route: $local:res"} }else{ [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Net") | Out-Null $local:nic = [system.net.networkinformation.networkinterface]::GetAllNetworkInterfaces()|Where-Object {$_.name -eq $InterfaceName} if ($local:nic.OperationalStatus -eq 'Up') { $local:interfaceIP = ($local:nic.GetIPProperties().unicastaddresses|where {$_.ipv4Mask -ne '0.0.0.0'}).Address.IPAddressToString if ($local:interfaceIP) { $local:res = route add $IP2Route MASK $IPMask $interfaceIP IF ($local:res -match 'OK!'){"Interface [$InterfaceName] Connected and Route $IP2Route Added"} ELSE{"Error Adding $IP2Route in Interface $InterfaceName : $local:err"} } }else{"Network Interface [$InterfaceName] Not Connected"} } Hi.

Here is a ps1 script that takes the interface name, the ip to route and the ipmask and routes an ip trough a interface. It can be a vpn or a normal network card. It utilizes route.exe for route adding and .net for NIC IP determination. It also deletes a route.

param(
[string] $InterfaceName = “Grupo Visabeira”,
[string] $IP2Route = “192.168.3.138″,
[string] $IPMask = “255.255.255.255″,
[SWITCH] $Delete)
#$delete = $true
IF ($Delete){
$local:res = route delete $IP2Route
IF ($local:res -match ‘OK!’){”Route $IP2Route Deleted”}
ELSE{”Error Deleting $IP2Route: $local:res”}
}else{
[reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(”System.Net”) | Out-Null
$local:nic = [system.net.networkinformation.networkinterface]::GetAllNetworkInterfaces()|Where-Object {$_.name -eq $InterfaceName}
if ($local:nic.OperationalStatus -eq ‘Up’) {
$local:interfaceIP = ($local:nic.GetIPProperties().unicastaddresses|where {$_.ipv4Mask -ne ‘0.0.0.0′}).Address.IPAddressToString
if ($local:interfaceIP) {
$local:res = route add $IP2Route MASK $IPMask $interfaceIP
IF ($local:res -match ‘OK!’){”Interface [$InterfaceName] Connected and Route $IP2Route Added”}
ELSE{”Error Adding $IP2Route in Interface $InterfaceName : $local:err”}
}
}else{”Network Interface [$InterfaceName] Not Connected”}
}
