Hi Ara- thanks for checking. Yes, if the system is a domain member, it works as you describe. The point is that remote systems should not need to be domain members in order to VPN into a network and have the VPN credentials used for access to that network's resources. A laptop user should not have to move around using cached domain credentials to log on to their system as a domain member... More importantly, the local users' interactive credentials should not automatically be sent to a remote host on a dial-up/VPN connection. That is a security issue in itself... t On 1/25/07 8:59 AM, "Ara Avvali" <Ara.Avvali@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> spoketh to all: > I did a test myself last night from Vista.
