VPN (or any dial-up style login) is not the same thing as a Domain Login and
will not be treated the same. VPN (and dial up) logins are used to
authenticate simply for the sake of creating the connection and nothing
else.

To do a Domain Login at the same time as the dial up connection login, the
user must select "logon using dialup connection" via the checkbox that you
see after hitting "Ctrl-Alt-Del".

Ene afte that, I'm not entirely sure how the login scripts will behave. I
avoid the use of login scripts as much as possible.
