[ error code 1] Connection problem via vpn

hi everyone, we have been using sophos firewalls for a few months now and they work perfectly.
all users are able to connect safely in vpn and work remotely. There is one of our external collaborators who can't connect, he gets a connection error (I'll post the log file below).obviously the procedures for creating accounts and associated groups are the same as those that work. firewall is updated to the latest version.

    Hi ,

    Thank you for reaching out to Sophos Community.

    It seems to be an issue from the local machine itself as 'netsh' command is getting failed. 'Netsh' is used to display or modify the network configuration.

    I'd suggest reinstalling the SSL VPN client as an administrator.

    If the issue remains the same, then you may try installing the Sophos Connect client on the end machine and import an SSL VPN connection into it.

    Import an SSL connection from the user portal
