Managing Microsoft Always On VPN deployments doesn’t have to be complicated. Always On VPN Dynamic Profile Configurator (DPC) is a free, open-source solution that simplifies deploying and managing Always On VPN client configuration settings while extending the capabilities of native deployment methods such as Microsoft Intune VPN profiles, custom XML, and PowerShell scripts.

Whether you’re deploying Always On VPN for the first time or looking to streamline an existing implementation, DPC provides powerful features that make advanced VPN configuration easier to deploy, manage, and maintain.

Webinar: Certificate Automation in Practice – A Technical Deep Dive

If you manage Windows Server workloads that require public TLS certificates like Always On VPN, DirectAccess, Remote Desktop Gateway, Internet Information Services (IIS), and others, you know that certificate expirations don’t send friendly reminders. Certificates expire quietly. Too often, end users are the ones who sound the alarm—when resources are already unavailable. Of course, this never happens at a convenient time. It’s usually the middle of the night, on the weekend.

Missed the event? Watch the on-demand replay here.

Current State

Most Windows IT teams are still managing certificates the same way they did years ago, using spreadsheets, calendar reminders, and an assortment of renewal scripts. It usually works… until it suddenly doesn’t.

Free Webinar

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be joining Todd Gardner from CertKit for a free live webinar on Tuesday, June 16, at 11:00 AM CDT, in which we will break down the following:

  • Why certificate mismanagement causes so much pain at scale
  • How to build real automation that works across your full environment, including internal services and vendor appliances
  • A live demonstration of CertKit showing end-to-end discovery, monitoring, and automated renewal

There will also be time for live Q&A, so bring your questions!

Join Us!

If you’re tired of patching the problem with fragile scripts and assorted reminders, join us to learn about a fully automated solution that can dramatically improve the situation. Register now and don’t miss this opportunity to reduce your TLS certificate management burden and end the need for 2 AM certificate renewal fire drills.
