I've just reloaded my computer fresh with Windows 7 Enterprise. I am using Cisco client version 5.0.06.0110 to connect remotely to office. I'd like to logon using cached credentials, but cannot for the first time. I've sucessfully added computer to the domain, but cannot get my credentials cashed in. Is there a way to do this using Windows 7 and my Cisco VPN client?

I'm not familliar with the VPN client you are using but you need to turn on the feature where it allows you to establish the VPN tunnel BEFORE you login. When you are at the CTRL-ALT-DEL screen have a look around to see if there are any options to establish your VPN connection at that point. If not then look to the VPN client software to see if there is an option in there.
You cant log on to the computer as you dont have a cached profile.
If you can log on to the PC locally i.e. with the administrator account you can use the runas command to cache a profile.
First start your vpn, then from the command line type
runas /user:mydomain\username "explorer /separate"
you will be prompted to enter your password
It will take a while over the vpn to load your profile...
You will now be able to see your profile in c:docs and setts/username and should be able to log in.

Thanks to all responses. Here is an update:
1) When trying deepdraw suggestion of runas command, I get an error:
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run explorer/separtate
2: The system cannot find the file specified
2) As far as the "Enable start to before logon", the option is not available with the CISCO VPN client for Windows 7.
Are their any other suggestions. I appreciate the feedback. Shawn

I think it seems that the caching itself doen't work properly.
Cached logon information is controlled by the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Softwar
ValueName: CachedLogonsCount
Data Type: REG_SZ
Values: 0 - 50
You could try this and post the results.
