How to logon domain over VPN

Before I purchase Static Public IP Address for my VPN Connection , I want to know whether the following setup will work ?

VPN Client workstation and VPN Server is separated by Internet.

Both VPN client site and VPN server site are using residential DSL Modem Router ( normal ADSL Modem Router ) .

On VPN Server site , ADSL Modem Router is connected to VPN Server and behind VPN server is Domain Controller .

See the following "layout":-

VPN Client ==DSL Modem/Router ==( INTERNET ) ==DSL ModemRouter==VPN Server==DC

VPN Server site is using Dynamic Public Static IP Adress. ( I understand dynamic public IP address is not the right way to configure VPN , but I just want to try out first whether it work before I purchase Static Public IP Address )

VPN Client workstation is using XP Pro and VPN Server and DC are both use Window Server 2003 .  No Cisco product is involved for this case .

Assuming , I already setup/configure VPN Client and also on the VPN Client Properties 's Option Tab , check the box for "include Window logon domain" .

Assuming I will set port fordwarding for PPTP  on VPN Server site on the ADSL Modem/Router

Assuming VPN Client is registered Domain computer /Domain User for the remote DC.  

What else should I do to succeesfully use VPN to logon to domain ?

I see some article mentioned about :-

1)Open the VPN Client. Choose Options 
2)Choose Windows Logon Properties 
3)Uncheck Disconnect VPN connection when logging off 
4)Choose OK Note: this change to the VPN client only needs to be done once for your initial
   logon with CLO.
5)Choose Connect

Choose Log Off

But I cannot find "Windows Logon Properties" and :Disconnect VPN connection when logging off  on VPN Client , I though this is Cisco VPN Client option ???

Anyhow , please advise , what else should I do in order to logon domain over VPN ??
Just click / open VPN Client , key in VPN Server credential ( username / password ) plus key in domain name on the domain drop down  menu ? Would it work ?

I yet to try out , just want to confirm ...

I am confusing with "Windows Logon Properties" and :Disconnect VPN connection when logging off  on VPN Client which I learn from other article ....

I am not going to use any Cisco product in this setup , I only want to use Microsoft VPN to setup this and without involve any 3rd party software/technology .

Please advise . If possible step by step , starting from OPEN THE VPN CLIENT ...

okay, i am reading too many thing here.
I am not sure what you are trying to do.

let me get it right,
you cant logon domain over VPN using microsoft solutions.

u,  however, can logon to domain, then dial VPN.
this will definitely work.



So what are you trying to do, in a brief term.

in pure microsoft solution, do you know RRAS? IAS?  this is the VPN server.

Dear limjinan,
Yes, I know RRAS and IAS . Any suggestion on them ?

What I want is :-  sitting in front of VPN Client workstation , logon as Domain User but the Domain Controller is not at the same building as VPN Client , the Domain Controller is 200km from VPN Client workstation .

VPN Client and VPN Server , both are at 2 difference locations , Domain Controller is at the same location as VPN Server .  How to make VPN Client to logon domain ( logon to DC ) WITHOUT  first dial VPN ?

Dear HarendraG ,

Try to correct me if I am wrong .

On the XP Pro Workstation ( VPN Client ):-
Start> Control Panel > Network Connection > click "add new networkplace connection" > Wizard start >
select VPN Client > 

After finish the Wizard , go to VPN Connection , Right Click on VPN Connection > Properties > Option Tab >  check the box for "include Window logon domain"

On the XP Pro workstation ( VPN Client) :-
Start > Control Panel > Network Connection > click(open) VPN Connection > the Dialog Box prompt out to request USERNAME + PASSWORD + DOMAIN > key in VPN Server authenticated Username + Password and enter the Domain name > Click "connect" button

That's all , I can dial VPN plus logon on domain ? Am I right .
YES this should work
