Monitoring with PowerShell: Monitoring RRAS status.

Kelvin Tegelaar | 30 Oct, 2019 | 1 Mins Read

So for my clients I’ve always relied completely on the Microsoft stack – I do not like most VPN appliances but still want to offer a stable SSL VPN for all clients. Enter SSTP, I’ve blogged about SSTP before when looking at DirectAccess or even Always-on VPN.

As with all products, appliances or server I always want to know the current state of the availability. In the case of SSTP VPN on anything higher than Windows Server 2012 we have a lot of PowerShell options available but we’ll only need one – Microsoft’s get-RemoteAccessHealth. When we execute Get-RemoteAccessHealth we get a nice display of the current state of the RRAS services.

Using the script below you can directly monitor the health of the current RRAS server, it’s a simple and short one.

$RRASHealth = Get-RemoteAccessHealth -Refresh | where-object { $_.HealthState -ne "OK"}
if(!$RRASHealth) { $RRASHealth = "Healthy"}

Hope it helps, and as always, Happy PowerShelling!

Last week I watched Merill Fernando talk to Alex Pavlovsky and Marilee Tuscak from the Entra team about something I’d kinda put under the “needs a GSA licence” branch and i’d check it out later, turns out that like most people, I half-assed the documentation and it turns out it doesn’t. There’s two features that come with any P1 license; Compliant network check and Source IP Restoration. So BP, P1, or even frontline worker licenses already have this.

CyberDrain CTF returns! (and so do I!)

It’s been since september that I actually picked up a digital pen equivalent and wrote anything down. This was due to me being busy with life but also my side projects like CIPP. I’m trying to get back into the game of scripting and blogging about these scripts. There’s still so much to automate and so little time, right? ;)
