Automated Dial Up Setup

[Mike]

I'm trying to figure out a way to make the proccess of
setup are dial up accounts for are users in the field can
be done in a automated way. Currently we walk them
throught the Wizard in XP to make a dial up connection
but if there was a easyier way that would be great.

Hi Mike,

The automated way is Microsoft's "managed RAS" solution, Connection Manager.

(The CM binaries are already present on your Windows XP client machines.
CMAK is the tool needed to create CM connectoid packages.)

If you'd rather use a regular RAS connection, you can write an EXE to create
the connectoid using RAS APIs. I don't know of a tool for this but someone
on the NG may know of one.

Hope that helps,
Sumit
