RDP through VPN

Bill_S_01
I just purchased two new Lenovo Laptops running W7. With both of these laptops I have installed THe VPN client and set up the rules on the firewall. When I first install the client I can RDP to machines on the network with no issues. after I restart the laptops and reestablish the VPN connection I can not RDP unless I uninstall the VPN client and reinstall it. Then again it is only good until I restart. Both user accounts work fine from other computers. I must be missing something fairly simple.

    You may also consider using Windows' builtin VPN Road-Warrior functionality (PPTP/L2TP, latter one should be preferred). This safes ressources, has no privilege/permission issues and offers the possibility to easily and automatically connect via a small Batch Script in Windows Autostart:

    echo off
    rasphone.exe -d "NAME_OF_VPN-CONNECTION"


    Just make sure you untick the checkbox 'Ask for Name, Password, Certificate etc.' in the 'Options' tab, as this will prevent the Connection dialog box from popping up and connect automatically.
