I'm the only person in our (small) company with a Mac and I work remotely. I have successfully accessed my company's VPN using Network Connect.

Custom

I'm now trying to map the shared drive.

Under 'Go' > 'Connect to server' I've entered the server address ('smb://.....' etc) as it has been given to me. When I click connect I get an error 'There was a problem connecting to the server '[ server address ]'. The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again'.

Apr 09, 2020 Always On VPN is designed to be implemented and managed using a Mobile Device Management platform such as Intune, but System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) and third-party MDM solutions can also be used. It should be noted that Always On VPN provides no native support for Active Directory Group Policy management.

I've tried a number of variations of the server address - none has worked.

In Finder, under 'Shared drives', all I can see is an empty 'Servers' folder.

When I'm in the office on the company's internal wifi, we have been able to map the drive. But nothing so far has worked remotely, remotely.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Virtual private networks (VPNs) give users secure remote access to your organization network. Devices use a VPN connection profile to start a connection with the VPN server. VPN profiles in Microsoft Intune assign VPN settings to users and devices in your organization. Use these settings so users can easily and securely connect to your organizational network.

For example, you want to configure all iOS/iPadOS devices with the required settings to connect to a file share on the organization network. You create a VPN profile that includes these settings. Then, you assign this profile to all users who have iOS/iPadOS devices. The users see the VPN connection in the list of available networks, and can connect with minimal effort.

Note

You can use Intune custom configuration policies to create VPN profiles for the following platforms:

Android 4 and later
Enrolled devices that run Windows 8.1 and later
Windows Phone 8.1 and later
Enrolled devices that run Windows 10 desktop
Windows 10 Mobile
Windows Holographic for Business

Secure your VPN profiles

VPN profiles can use a number of different connection types and protocols from different manufacturers. These connections are typically secured through the following methods.

Certificates

When you create the VPN profile, you choose a SCEP or PKCS certificate profile that you previously created in Intune. This profile is known as the identity certificate. It's used to authenticate against a trusted certificate profile (or root certificate) that you create to allow the user's device to connect. The trusted certificate is assigned to the computer that authenticates the VPN connection, typically, the VPN server.

If you use certificate-based authentication for your VPN profile, then deploy the VPN profile, certificate profile, and trusted root profile to the same groups. This assignment makes sure each device recognizes the legitimacy of your certificate authority.

Note

Certificates added using the PKCS imported certificate profile type aren't supported for VPN authentication. Certificates added using the PKCS certificates profile type are supported for VPN authentication.

User name and password

The user authenticates to the VPN server by providing a user name and password.

Next steps

Once the profile is created, it isn't doing anything yet. Next, assign the profile to some devices, and monitor its status.

You can also create and use per-app VPNs on Android device administrator/Android Enterprise and iOS/iPadOS devices.
