VPN with Login Scripts

[shepcon]

I'm running Windows 2000 Server SP4 and I have several
users running Windows 2000/XP in a remote office. I have
setup the VPN access to the server and all is working
well. I would like to connect to the server shares via a
login script. Is there a way to run a login script upon
login with the Windows XP Pro VPN client?

Thanks.

This can be achived using CMAK post connection actions. You can create a
profile using connection manager admin kit and deploy it to the remote
users.

The thing to note is that making a VPN connection is not a logon
operation, so logon scripts don't run. You can get the logon script to run
if you actually do a logon (by setting the client to use the login using a
dialup connection). But that isn't usually what you want to happen. You
usually want the remote client to do a local login before it makes the VPN
connection, and running the logon script then doesn't make any sense.
