    SBS 2008 VPN questions

    I've just implemented VPN on my SBS 2008 server. Everything seems to work
    fine as far as connecting. Connection from home is also fast and stable. I
    do have afew questions though.

    1. From a VPN connection I cannot access any server and share using the run
    command \\servername\sharename. What I can do from a run command is
    \\servername.domain.local\sharename.



    2. I run login scripts to map network drives. This is applied from a GPO.
    Are these applicable when I VPN to my network from home? If so how do I
    enable this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: SBS 2008 VPN questions

    Thanks Merv. I checked out the link and yes it does appear this would be the
    fix. I followed the procedures and still have same issues. I'm wondering if
    because I am using ISA 2006 this could be the problem. Your thoughts?

    Re: SBS 2008 VPN questions

    You have ISA 2006 installed on a separate server in front of the SBS 2008?
    Did you follow the MS white paper for setting up that scenario?
