All,
I am looking to create a VPN connection to the Azure Cloud. I have Azure configured properly and connect from a full win10 as well as ubuntu, but I am struggling to get the tools configured for Win10PE. Any advice? I need the client obviously and to configure the certificates.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hello,
Sorry for my bad english.
VPN to Azure from a winpe : very complex for any winpe

1 - i see in this site that RDP is neeed :
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/cbtham/2017/03/07/diy-build-your-own-vpn-with-microsoft-azure-oss/
"...you get a Windows 10 machine that sits in the cloud which you can
connect via mobile phones, cyber café desktops, your neighbour's laptop or anything that has internet access with
RDP(remote desktop
) capability."
In my microwinpebuilder, an "investigation" environment, not a "product" tool, i get RemoteDesktop to control the "Winpe's session ADM".
Outgoing RDP communication is more hard to port into a winpe like Winpe10SE. More simple to get into that i tell "full-flat winpe in a big vhd".
I assume your VPN client uses only incoming RDP communication : so, possible in winpe even with NLA

2 - you need a client VPN. This client can be integrate in winpe. I assume that:
it comes with installer and after you'll configure it.

3 - certificat : In a french site, a guy said he used Makecert.exe to generate certificat.
http://www.microsoft-desktop.com/2015/04/microsoft-azure-generation-des-certificats-vpn/
i never worked directly with certificat in winpe. But i assume it is possible to use it.

4 - you need an internet browser : in winpe10SE, bob.omb writes a plugin.  :great:
The only one thing disponible actually in winpe for you and your need.

So, it seems to me this is a hard job !

The client VPN (which one ?, how to get it? ...) needs also a big work for to be installed in winpe
Getting Rdp is complex in Winpe10SE.
And Azure is too expensive to just do tests. :mad:

The bigger difficulty for me is to use an Azure Environment.

other question : why do you need to connect from winpe to Azure ?
