For some business reasons, company provides FortiGate SSL VPN to connect office network, but some subnet cannot be accessed due to route did not add automatically. here is a PowerShell script to find the gateway and interface of VPN connection then add route. It will be great if I can find out how to run script automatically after VPN connection made. let say office VPN subnet is 10.50.10.0/24, add 2 new subnet by following

Windows 7 default with PowerShell 2.0, when I downloaded “Windows Management Framework 4.0 “, installed and reboot then update failure, Error Code: 8004402F . it is due to temp directory on my system environment pointing to Ram Disk…. Turn off Ram disk, set TEMP back to somewhere with physical disk. M$, you win….. solution source here 4.0 comes with better support on networking. All I need is just interface Index after SSL VPN has been established, then add route. Haven’t finished that part though. Here is example to list connected adapters
