How: VPN During Windows Login?

[CharlieIT]

I have remote users who NEVER come to the office. I have a Windows 2003 server running Routing and Remote Access.

Is there a way I can have remote clients login to VPN before or during Windows Logon? What are the best clients to use for this? Is there a purely Microsoft solution...or do I need to purchase 3rd party clients?

Thank You!

I haven't found perfect solution. However, you may be able to create the VPN as a service so that the VPN will run when he turns on the computer before logon.
