How to create, configure & connect a vpn server?

Is there a server in place currently at the office? What OS do they use?

You'll need to place the users in Windows SBS Moblie users group to allow them to login through the VPN.

It's possible to create a VPN setup on a workgroup structure like yours, but a domain setup would allow greater security, and better management.

If you don't have a static IP you may need to setup dyndns or something similar that way users don't have to keep logging into different IPs
