Command to turn on VPN status in Menubar

Is there a command I can run on client machines to turn on the VPN Status in Menubar?


For some reason on my new builds the menubar for VPN is off, my mistake, but i'm thinking there should be a command to turn it on. It's just a checkbox..


Anyone know?


Thanks.

Try:


open /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/VPN.menu/


You should be able to copy and paste the above one line into ARD and send it as a UNIX command to all selected computers or computer lists.
