Hi, I'm running a sbs 2000 Server and the vpn client is running windows XP
professional SP2.

The ISA server has been setup to allow PPTP passthrough and the remote user
has been granted access to dial-in.

On the client computer I added the VPN connection to network connections and
can establish a connection by right clicking on the connection and selecting
"Connect". After doing so I am able to view files, connect to the server
using remote desktop and view are local intranet.

However, when trying to login by selecting "Log on using dial-up connection"
from the windows logon screen the connection is established, however user is
unable to login. The message tells me to check username, domain and password.

Also when trying to login with a user which hasn't been logged in before the
message says the domain name is unavailable

Hi:

I appears that the RDP (remote desktop) connection gives you all the
functionality. Why do you need to login over a dialup connection?

As for the last issue in your post: do you mean as an extension to the
first issue, as in Dial Up, or using RDP?

This laptop is for a solicitor in our office. She wants the laptop to act has
her main pc and not only be able to work in the office, but from home etc..

I just can't understand why it won't sign into the domain over VPN, I
thought the VPN was working as I can logon to it however just not logon from
windows logon screen.

The RDP connection I established is just to the main sbs 2000 server which
only I have acces to

Look at the profile of the user and verify that she has "dial in" rights. I
no longer have a 2000 Server to check, but it is in ADUC -
Username-rclick-properties-
then "Dial In".

Check the error logs of both the server and the workstation for errors after
attempting the connection. Post back any errors with the event id and the
source.

To facilitate your testing you can RDP from the workstation to the server
over the LAN.

Post back any errors, messages, warnings that occur.

What OS is on the solicitors notebook?
