This solution is only available to members.

You will need to make sure your home PC is using the appropriate DNS servers to resolve the domain name. What VPN client are you using? With Nortel VPN clients, there is a name servers option in Tools, you can setup the DNS servers to use during VPN connections and the domain name. I'm sure Cisco and other VPN clients have the same type of options. With the appropriate permissions to join a workstation to a domain and the correct setup, you shouldn't have any issues.
Oops.. Same time post, sorry..
Hstiles reminded me of problems with logging in after joining, you can in some cases install the VPN client as a service instead of an application and it should try and connect before logging in occurs.
Again, sorry for the duplicate info.
