How to set Automatic VPN Connection?

[vijmat]

I am trying to set up an automatic VPN connection (from one Windows 2000 Server) to connect to a VPN server (windows 2000) using PPTP. So when the server boots up I would like the VPN connection to happen automatically.

I know there are command like rasautou.exe; rasdial.exe; rasphone.exe, but don't know how it can be used to achive this Autoconnection.

I would appreciate it if someone can let me know how to do
this.

Thanks

The way we do it here is that we put a ping.bat to ping to a remote server in scheduled tasks to execute at windows startup and another task scheduled every 10 minutes, just to make sure that if the connection falls down it'll reconnect.

That's surely not the better way to do this but it works fine.

I still would like to know how would one achieve the autoconnect. I am looking for some command and syntax which would probably link to the Connections in the "Network and Dialup Connections".
