Static IP Address for a VPN connection

I have routing and remote access setup on my server and I would like when an end user VPN's in to have a static IP rather than a dynamic. Is there anyway to do this and can I do it for only one end user??

Do I setup that DCHP on the server end or in the routing and remote access?

There's a mini-DHCP allocator that comes with RRAS but it won't allow you to specify reservations.  You can only do that with a regular DHCP server.  Are you trying to set this up for one user & one machine or many users with many machines?

yes...just one user and one pc.

After thinking about this some more I remembered you can set this on the user account properties.  Just open the user account using Active Directory Users and Computers and select the Dial-in tab,  toward the bottom, there is an option to set a static address for that user.  Just make sure it's in the range that the mini-dhcp allocator creates.  To check that range, go to RRAS and select the properties of the server, then select the IP tab.
