@Mellbourn I do not use this script but I experienced the same error and noticed in my environment the Disconnect and Refresh Connection buttons lay within menu 1 of the "Global Protect Options Menu". So try changing that line to:

click menu item "Disconnect" of menu 1 of button "Global Protect Options Menu" of window 1

@mmacvicar unfortunately, that also fails. Syntax error:
System Events got an error: Can’t get menu item "Disconnect" of menu 1 of button "Global Protect Options Menu" of window 1 of process "GlobalProtect".

@mmacvicar unfortunately, that also fails. Syntax error: System Events got an error: Can’t get menu item "Disconnect" of menu 1 of button "Global Protect Options Menu" of window 1 of process "GlobalProtect".

Try this script:

tell application "System Events" to tell process "GlobalProtect"
	click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
	set statusText to name of static text 1 of window 1
	if statusText is "Not Connected" then
		# GlobalProtect is disconnected, so let's connect
		click button "Connect" of window 1
		set entireContents to entire contents of window 1
	else if statusText is "Connected" then
		# GlobalProtect is connected, so let's disconnect
		set windowText to entire contents of window 1
		repeat with theItem in windowText
			if (name of theItem contains "Disconnect") then
				click theItem
			end if
		end repeat
	end if
	click menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
end tell
