Use
the RASDial utility by itself to determine the current RAS status. The output displays any connections
you??™ve made. This utility uses the following syntax:
RASDial entryname [username [password|*]] [/DOMAIN:domain]
[/PHONE:phonenumber] [/CALLBACK:callbacknumber]
[/PHONEBOOK:phonebookfile] [/PREFIXSUFFIX]
RASDial [entryname] /DISCONNECT
RASDial
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
entryname Specifies an entry from the RAS phonebook (PBK file) entry. The utility uses the
default PBK file located in the \Windows\System32\RAS directory unless you specify a different
PBK file using the /PHONEBOOK command line switch. Always place entry names that contain
spaces in quotes. You may also elect to use a telephone number that doesn??™t appear in the phonebook
by using the /PHONE command line switch.
username[{ password | *}] Specifies the username used to connect to the remote system.
In many cases, you??™ll also need to supply a password to create the connection. If you supply an
asterisk (*) for the password, RAS prompts you for the password. Using this technique reduces
the possibility of someone compromising your password.
