New Feature "VPN for Windows 10" in SCCM 2107?

The newest SCCM Version shows the following feature:

  • The link provided in this feature points to SCCM 1608
  • And according to the 2103 Microsoft documentation, Microsoft decided to eliminate all "company resource access" features in SCCM 2103 and newer. But company resource access was the only efficent way to deploy VPN profiles with SCCM.

Can anyone explain what we can do with the new "VPN for Windows 10" feature?

    Hi, @Franz Schenk

    I'm afraid we do not have other way to deploy VPN profile to clients with SCCM.
    As the documentation states, it's recommended to use Microsoft Intune to deploy it.

    I see why that's confusing, but that list is not for new features in the release; it's for features you can optionally enable with most having been around for a while now. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/plan-design/changes/whats-new-in-version-2107 for what's new in 2107.

    Hi, @Franz Schenk
    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    First, the feature "VPN for Windows 10" is not a new feature in SCCM 2107 like Jason said, it's the feature you can choose to enable if you haven't enable it yet, it also listed in SCCM 2103 feature list. And the feature is for create and deploy VPN profiles.

    Then, starting in Configuration Manager version 2103, this company resource access feature is deprecated. We can use Microsoft Intune to deploy resource access profiles. It is first announced on March 2021, but we can still use it, it will be removed in the first release after March 1, 2022.

    For your reference:

    Hello Jason and AllenLiu

    Thank you for your feedback. But can anyone explain about the SCCM "VPN for Windows 10" feature that is not a sub-category of company resource access? I can't find anything else about VPN in SCCM.

    I have seen the Microsoft statement rhat company resource access is depreciated in 2103. You are right that the feature is still visible in 2103, but it has stopped working already with this version. Have a VPN profile with EAP Authentication, and it's deployed with MS-Chapv2 Password authentication to the clients. In SCCM 2010, a VPN profile with EAP Authentication was deployed correctly.

    I hope that the printscreen below explains the situation. Have configured a VPN profile in SCCM with EAP authentication. And since SCCM 2103, the profile is still created on the client, but unusable due to the wrong authentication method.
