I don’t know what kind of VPN you have, but the Cisco dialer allows you to logon before Windows logon, so you establish VPN connectivity first, then when you put in your Windows credentials you are logged onto the domain correctly will all rights and access afforded to a local user.
You probably want to do something similar. -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 8:51 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Home Directories and VPN I have users that map network drives based on security group. Users Home drive is set by ADUC and set to the H: drive. Here is my problem. During the workday at the office the user has all their mapped drives and their home drive. Everything works properly. At the end of the day the user shuts down the laptop and goes home. Later that evening the user powers up the laptop and logs in (Using the cached credentials) When you click on "My computer" the mapped drive show (ovbiousaly they are offline) but not the Home Folder. The user then connect to the VPN back to the office. The user now can access all his mapped network drives. The home folder is not showing up in "My computer" and the user can not access it. How can I get the home folder to stay mapped after a reboot so that users can access it outside the office on a VPN? ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
