you need to create profile .xml and place it on VPN/Profile folder. Follow this will help https://community.cisco.com/t5/vpn/profile-cisco-anyconnect-secure-mobility/td-p/4746065

If you have the AnyConnect client available you have the profile editor tool as well. That will let you create the above mentioned xml file that you can distribute to your client workstations. One the few simple tools by Cisco for non-network admins.

Had issues with this too, friendly name drop down would never work either.

Not recommending it, but you can just start vpn as user, close it, delete and recreate the xml, start vpn. All in a script. Haven’t had time to fully resolve, but with profile tool failing, that sufficed.

I’m not entirely sure how to configure these files, our Cisco admin just gave them to me and I had to figure out where to copy them. Pretty sure you configure these in the Cisco portal and download them from there. But this is where you copy them to. We use PSADT so the cmdlets are slightly different than normal PowerShell:

# Copy VPN Profile
Copy-File -Path "$dirFiles\CompanyName.xml" -Destination "$envProgramData\Cisco\Cisco Secure Client\VPN\Profile"

# Copy NVM Profile
Copy-File -Path "$dirFiles\NVM_ServiceProfile.xml" -Destination "$envProgramData\Cisco\Cisco Secure Client\NVM"

# Copy Umbrella configuration
Copy-File -Path "$dirFiles\OrgInfo.json" -Destination "$envProgramData\Cisco\Cisco Secure Client\Umbrella"

Do you mean the profile editor tool can be found in local computer after installed cisco vpn client?

It’s the Anyconnect.xml file here C:\ProgramData\Cisco\Cisco Secure Client\VPN\Profile
Then at the bottom usually

	<HostEntry>

		<HostName>VPN-Primary</HostName>

		<HostAddress>xxxxxxxx</HostAddress>

	</HostEntry>

	<HostEntry>

		<HostName>VPN-Backup</HostName>

		<HostAddress>xxxxxxx</HostAddress>

	</HostEntry>

</ServerList>

Sorry, I should rephrase. It’s available to download from Cisco alongside AnyConnect. It’s a separate download similar to the various types of downloads for AnyConnect.
