I have a client with two new Dell notebooks (Vostro 1500 & 1700)
with Vista Business and Office 2007 Basic. I configured the
machines locally at their head office, setup users, etc and had
everything working fine. The machines were then shipped to a
remote office which is connected via a Linksys RV042 VPN Router,
which is configured with a VPN Tunnel to the Head Office SBS
2003/ISA 2004 server.

There's an existing XP Pro SP2 machine at the remote site and it
can connect to H.O. without issue, so I know the router and
tunnel are fine. However, neither of the Vista machines will
connect properly.

Both machines are getting an IP from the router (IPCONFIG looks
fine) and the DHCP status on the router shows the machines as
well, so that's not an issue. But Oulook will not connect to
Exchange and the ISA Firewall Client shows as disconnected (red
X). I've had the user repair the connection, after which the ISA
Firewall Client shows as connected, but within one minute it
disconnects again. I've had the user right-click the ISA
Firewall Client and choose Configure then "Test" the server and
it does find the server. However, again, within a minute it
disconnects.

Also, I should mention that it takes 10 to 15 minutes for the
machines to go from start to logged on status. So it's trying to
connect to something, but not succeeding very well. If I get the
user to logon as local admin, the machine starts right away, as
expected.

So I can't figure out what's wrong with these machines. This
client has other remote sites with the same setup and I've
preconfigured machines, both XP and Vista, and shipped them out
and have had no such issues. The only difference is that the
other machines had Vista Ultimate whereas these latest ones have
Vista Business.
