Can a single VPN account make multiple logins to Windows Domain network
Have been asked by two staff members to have VPN login to domain will a single vpn connection suffice for them to connect to domain at the same time
Qlemo
Why not allowing both accounts to dial in?
Hi,
not sure about your setup, but if you are using the Active Directory as VPN authentication service then it will allow them (unless you somehow prevented this), since the VPN server will just "ask" AD to validate the username and password and if ok it will serve the VPN connection i.e. it will allows establishment of the connection.

I was hoping that a single VPN login would be ok for two members of staff to login to domain off site at the same time and not want to have to setup 2 VPN connections one for each user. Also as we don't often have staff needing to login from off site was hoping just to setup one VPN connex and be able to use it in future for any other user that requires off site access to domain is this possible?

Each user has their own domain user account FYI

What the heck is difficult about setting up individual VPN connections? At least if we talk about MS VPN, it doesn't matter how many accounts you use - just enable RAS Login for each account, and be done! There is absolutely no change needed, but you exactly know who dials in.
To allow multiple, parallel VPNs, you'll need to do that on a server, of course. MS Client OS only allows a single active VPN tunnel at any time.
