Hi Drake Groves,
Are you using the built-in VPN or a third party VPN?
If the issue only occurred with the specific machine, please take the following steps to have a troubleshoot.
1.Reinstall the network adapter driver from device manager. It is recommended to download the driver from the device manufacturer website.
2.Reinstall the VPN software if you are using a third party VPN application. Remove the VPN profile and re-create it if you are using the built-in VPN.
3.Run the following command line to reset the TCP/IP stack.
ipconfig /flushdns (Clear the dns cache)
nbtstat -RR (release and refesh NetBIOS names)
netsh int ip reset (reset ip settings)
netsh winsock reset (Reset Winsock Catalog)
Reboot
For the error "703", it usually means:
"The server you are attempting to connect to requires user interaction. The rasdial command, or the application you are using that is attempting to dial, does not support user interaction.
If possible, try to connect by using an existing connection in the Network Connections folder.
If you are using scripting to connect, try using a dial-up connection that is configured with the Terminal feature. The Terminal window may enable the user interaction that is required. See Use the Terminal feature to log on to a remote computer."

Not a scripting issue. Placing a command in a batch file does not make it a script. Check with the RAS software vendor or the RAS forum for help.

It is not a scripting problem. Post in VPN forum or contact MS Support for help. The error indicates that yur VPN is not configured correctly.

It is not a scripting issue. There is no way to change your batch to make this work. The issue is for MS Support and not for those learning how to write a script.
Sorry but I guess you are just SOoL.

Drake Groves:
I was having almost the same issue in Windows 8.1 Enterprise. I'd created a batch file to connect a user to a pre-established VPN connection with a pbk entry. It only worked the first time after creating the VPN connection (adapter). Thereafter--even after a reboot--it threw the the same message you noted.
Eventually, I went into the established VPN connection and altered its properties (changed from Automatically detect type to PPTP, etc) until it stopped throwing the error. From then on, it let me use the batch file every time for every logged-on user. I'm sure that the options I chose are not the same ones you'd choose, so I'm not going to list them all here, but there is hope if you just keep experimenting with different settings in the VPN adapter properties.
I'm sorry you were treated so dismissively by one user. I don't know how this could *not* be at least initially thought to be a Windows 10 IT Pro > Windows 10 General problem when this problem did not exist in Windows 7 (same batch file worked fine in that version).
Good luck.

I had the same expirience, a simple fix for me was simply deleting the vpn connection, and then establish it again with standard settings - this seemed to correct whatever caused the error.
