I"ve have had to do this in the past; I used the LMHOSTS file with the #DOM qualifier for the PDCE for the domain.

Something like:

10.10.10.1        servername        #PRE #DOM:domainname

This has worked using Secure Remote and Nortel VPN client software.

[ActiveDir] Joining pc to domain over vpn





Can you join a pc to a domain over a win xp pptp vpn connection with changing the dns settings on the network adapter or does windows use only those settings and NOT the one's on the vpn adapter?

If i don't change the dns settings on the nic adapter(the vpn adapter has the correct settings), i can't contact the domain.
if i change the nic adapter dns settings, i get up to the part where i'm prompted for a password, but then it fails with "domain.tld could not be contacted"


I'm using windows xp sp1 client with the default pptp vpn to a win2k RRAS server

Any ideas?
thanks
