Initiating VPN Connection On Computer Startup Using Scripts

G

Guest

I would like to know, if there's a script to dial a VPN connection on
computer startup. Actually my situation is like that:
We have three branches one in each city
We have only one domain controller in the main branch
Computers are joined to the domain and configured in the main office then
sent to the branches
Users use VPN to connect to our network and have LAN resources, Internet
Access and Email Access

What happends is, on computer startup, if a new username is used to log in
to the computer on startup, the user get the message: "Could not log you one
because the domain is not available". To solve this, my understanding is to
have a script to dial the VPN connection on computer startup so the domain
becomes available before the user tries to log in. Any ideas?

In this case it is better to create VPN as a service or create IPSec VPN so that the computer establishes the VPN before logon.
