Hello Chester,
Thank you for posting here.
From the post, I understand you want to establish VPN connectionautomatically before the user logon to the Vista computer.
Based on my test, the steps you got is correct:
1. Create another VPN connection, share it to all users,
2. When the computer boot up, click CTRL+ALT+DEL
3. Click blue icon (Network logon icon) (lower-right corner)
4. Connect to VPN created in step 1.
If the user do not know click Network logon icon before logon computer, we
cannot make it finish automatically.
Of course, the logon script will help to establish VPN automatic after user
logon computer, however, we cannot make it finish automatic before the user
logon. Because we cannot make the script run before user logon.
This is a Vista issue, please repost your issue in Vista newsgroup for
further assistance.

| We have a remote domain user running Vista Business. They are setup
| with the Connect to Small Business Server default VPN, put there by
| the /connectcomputer process.
|
| Everything works fine.
|
| However, I want them to connect to the VPN automatically when they
| login, and not have to do it as a second step. I haven't been able to
| find out to do this.
|
| The closest I've gotten is:
| Create another VPN connection,
| Share it to all users,
| Have user click on "Other User" at login screen
| Click blue icon (lower-right corner)
| Connect to VPN created in step 1.
|
| However, because their credentials are cached, when they first click
| CTRL+ALT+DEL, the user name is already filled in, so they tend to
| login there. Of course, then they call the helpdesk wondering why they
| can't get to the network resources!
|
| Any help here? A script to automate the VPN login, or a setting that
| I'm missing?
|
| Thank you!
