VPN service not available

”The VPN service is not available & restart application after one minute.”

First try to start the service manually:

1. Within Control Panel->System and Security->Admin Tools -> Services
2. Look for the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Agent service
3. Right click the service and select Start or Restart if the service is already running.

If that does not work:

1) Open Windows Explorer
2) Navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
3) Move all files in the root to a new folder you create - any name is fine, I used 'old'.
4) Authorize the move in User Account Control.
5) Start Cisco AnyConnect client. You should not receive the error message.
6) Completely exit Cisco AnyConnect client.
7) Move HOSTS from 'old' back to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
8) Start Cisco AnyConnect client. You should not receive the error message.

Cisco anyconnect error "Failed to install AnyConnect VPN Profile because of file move error. A VPN connection cannot be established."

some time you might seeing this error when installing Anyconnect. this could be the permission issue with client profile file, the .xml file.

to resolve the issue by verifying (and correcting) the permissions on the directory that the profile is stored in. This varies by operating system, the paths for XP and 7 are:

WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile

Win 7: C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\Profile

In my case the permissions on the file got blanked somewhere along the way, just had to go to the next higher directory and re-propagate the permissions down to the child objects (files and subdirectories residing under this directory).
