Thanks Pegasus. Could I just throw this into a .bat file?

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to setup and automated
script to launch and login to a VPN connection with a remote server
nightly, then kick off a batch file to copy files from the remote
server to my local PC. The server is 2003 SBS and the PC on my side is
XP SP3.

Is this even possible?

Thanks,

Steve

Yes, it's possible but not secure (because you have to put your password
into the script):
@echo off
rasdial "ServerName" steve SomePassword
/phonebook:"%AllUsersProfile%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk"
