Cisco Anyconnect: Vpn Establishment Capability From A Remote Desktop

Cisco Anyconnect: Vpn Establishment Capability From A Remote Desktop Average ratng: 10,0/10 4646 votes
I have a virtual machine created on Hyper-V in windows 8, I noticed that when I connect to the machine using the remote desktop connection I can't establish a VPN connection using Cisco AnyConnect and I receive this error: 'VPN establishment capability from a remote desktop is disabled'. But I can establish the connection if connected to the VM using the Hyper-v Manager.

Hello, I am in the process of trying to configure an ASA 5505 for the AnyConnect VPN Client; the Cisco article below states the following:
Note: MS Terminal Services is not supported in conjunction with the AnyConnect client. You cannot RDP to a computer and then initiate an AnyConnect session. You cannot RDP to a client that is connected via AnyConnect.

To demonstrate configuring Cisco AnyConnect remote access VPN on Cisco ASA firewalls IOS version 9.x, we will set up a GNS3 lab as the following diagram. There is a Cisco ASAv firewall virtual server and there is one Cisco router act as client in the internal network connected to ASAv firewall virtual server interface inside. Cisco AnyConnect and Hyper-V – Connect to a VPN from Inside a VM Session Clients and VMs and VPNs, Oh My! As regular readers of this blog may be aware, I recently hung up my technical evangelist hat, and made the jump back into full-time consulting. Set the interface to the interface Anyconnect client uses, and set packet type to TCP. Under source, use the IP range for Anyconnect, Destination IP to the RDP Server and Destination port to 3389. That will tell you if there is any policy in place to block the traffic, in particular to RDP (TCP/3389).

Does this mean I would not be able to remote destop into a computer I had connected to using the AnyConnect client!? Surely not? Or does it state the obvious in that you can't remote desktop going the other way? (ie. RDP to the computer that initiated the VPN tunnel using the AnyConnect client).

As you can probably firure I have not managed to get the AnyConnect working yet or I'd be able to test it.
Thanks,
