Dan, I hear people say its too hard to right click the Firewall client icon and click Disable, and then click Enable when they want it going again. So, to ask them to manually start a VPN connection is like asking them to get dressed in the morning (well, something like that).

Nice, but seems a bit overkill. If you're talking about only one user needing VPN, I wouldn't say it is worth the hassle of doing that. For example, I have two icons on my laptop that I use to connect from home. One is the VPN connection, I have it set to use Windows credentials, so all I have to do is double-click and it logs me in. The other is an RDP file with my login saved (Saves the password in a hash file, and won't work if moved to another computer, so it is "reasonably" safe). So, all I have to do is double-click on the VPN icon, wait for it to say Connected, then double-click on the RDP file, and I'm in. Not sure if spending the time to have the VPN automatically connected is much faster then double-clicking one more time. ________________________________ From: Andrew English [mailto:andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 9:01 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: RDC over VPN http://www.ISAserver.org Yes but on the client side I saw on a site (after doing a google search on "rdc over vpn") someone creating a short cut on the desktop of XP that automatically makes the VPN and then RDC connection for you...

Also I need to setup a rule on ISA that allows a certain use to RDC from one local network to another bypassing the VPN locally unless there is a better way?
