Detect VPN users with login script?

[Robbman2000]

VPN gurus....

With my current RRAS server I specify a particular IP address range to remote users. In my login script I can detect these users using their IP address.

With my new configuration I'm using DHCP Relay and am assigning remote clients the same IP address range as internal users.

How would I be able to detect whether the user is local or VPN?

One way is to look in the RRAS snap-in, if you didn't already know that. Not sure about how to do it with a script tho....

Thanks,

OK, I figured this one out so I thought I'd post it for any who needs to know.

For Windows NT/W2K users, you can use the CHECKRAS.EXE utility from the BackOffice Resource kit:

For Windows 95 users, check the registry:

$is_ras=readvalue("hkey_local_machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\remoteaccess","remote connection&quot
if @error=0 goto RAS endif
