VPN Schedule

[Nixter]

Hi,

I'm running a VPN client connection to a server in the
states. Our students use it as part of their studies.
My question is, I really don't want to leave the vpn
client connected when it dosent need to be. Does anyone
know of anyway to schedule the server to make the
connection at certain times, and disconnect after a
period of time?

Running WIndows 2000 server using the microsoft VPN
client software.

You can configure the remote access policies / group policies to allow the
access only on certain days.

Thanks Sandeep,

I ended up writing a couple of batch files using rasdial
to connect and disconnect the vlan connection. Threw it
in a scheduler package so I had the flexibility to
control the times of day it connected and disconnected.
