AnyConnect – The VPN Connection Failed (Domain Name Resolution)
KB ID 0001236
Problem
This is a pretty generic error to be honest.
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client
VPN
The VPN connection failed due to unsuccessful domain name resolution.
Solution
Firstly, (and obviously) the name you are typing in the AnyConnect window can be resolved can’t it? If not then you might want to consider some employment that does not involve computers.
Secondly (this is what usually trips me up) did you copy and paste the name? If so is there a space on the end?
This name may also be incorrect in the profile.xml that’s associated with this VPN, to check, the location of that file is covered in this article.
Also check that the VPN device, does not need to be connected to on a different port, as per this article.
