VPN and Logon Scripts

[Steve McCarthy]

I have a VPN setup for users at home. The VPN is setup in RRAS. Is
there a way to have logon scripts execute when the VPN connection is
made and the user authenticates?

I use different logon scripts at work, but my users are lost at home
if they don't have the drive letters they are used to?

I have looked at some way to just give them a shortcut to the batch
files on the network, but that doesn't seem to work.

I would appreciate any insight

Logon scripts only run when you log on! Making a VPN connection is not a
logon operation.

You can try the "logon using a dialup connection" option in the logon
screen. Otherwise you will need to use something else to trigger your script
to run.

You can use rasdial.exe in a batch file and then follow it up with the
script actions that you want to execute. Another option is to use
post-connect actions in CMAK. More documentation about CMAK in
