What can cause a delay before the VPN Client appears, specifically when the “Start Before Logon” option is enabled?
A. The VPN Client is in “fall back” mode. This contributes to the delay. Uninstall the VPN Client and remove the offending applications to allow startup without being in “fall back” mode. Then reinstall the VPN Client. View Cisco bug IDs CSCdt88922 (registered customers only) and CSCdt55739 (registered customers only) in Bug Toolkit for more information.
