OpenVPN and Domains

I have a user that brings home his notebook and works from home alot. We are currently using http://www.gotomypc.com/ for this. He goes to the site, logs in, and there is a specific computer running a service that allows him to open a remote desktop session (very similar to how remote desktop for windows works). This works but whenever he updates something on his computer (files, programs, etc), he has to do the same on the remote computer.

So I figure why not setup a vpn. Our firewall is running IPcop and OpenVPN has an addon for IPcop and I have all installed just fine (I believe). And since I'm at work I'm not 100% sure this computer I'm testing it on is going to connect once we take it off the network but I'm pretty confident. I can figure out what's wrong once I go home and do a test.

My question is if there is a way to use OpenVPN to allow him to actually login to the domain when he's away. I know you can start OpenVPN as a service in windows but when I tried that, it didn't start on startup. Best case scenario is that he is done for the day, goes home, turns on his computer, logs back into the domain from his house, and finishes his work with all the shares mapped and having the programs on his computer communicating with the servers on the domain.

-using openvpn
-99% sure I have it setup right
-want a roadwarrior to be able to use windows login screen to log into the domain remotely
-nobody replied to my thread in general :(

You need to allow his account for RAS access in AD.

Yeah. Just figured that out today. Was looking at the account properties and there it was. Thanks.

try www.hamachi.cc - its an easy tool for creating vpns effortlessly. that combined with the built in windows remote desktop cant go wrong. RAdmin i believe has a demo that you can use forever if you cant use remote desktop.

Oops, didnt notice it was work based :I

shoot me in the head!
