Ryan,
I'm trying to answer this from memory, so double check it before you
implement it. :-)
* Create the VPN connection in XP's Network Connections folder while
logged in using the cached profile.
* Log off
* On the logon screen, open the options section
* There should be a checkbox to authenticate using dial up access (which
includes using the VPN over a high speed Internet connection)
* Check the checkbox and login.... it will pause as it creates the
tunnel and then authenticates off of the DC.
I think that's it.
Hope this helps.
Keith

Subject: Integrating Domain and VPN Login
I'm trying to find a way to integrate a login to a VPN with a domain
login.
Users at a remote office currently login using a cached profile then
manually start a VPN connection using the client included with XP Pro.
These machines are then authenticating to the Windows 2000 server at the
central office. I know in NT4 there was a check box for dial up
authentication to a domain, however is there anything similar to this
for XP
to allow seamless integration of these two logins? I tried setting the
VPN
to login using the Windows credentials and putting a shortcut in the
startup
folder, however the VPN connection does not start that way for some
reason.
