2 things Rosie,

1)      If you are being prompted for credentials when trying to access drives 
then you aren't logged in to an account on the same domain, or not logged into 
a domain account with a domain trust relationship to the target domain.  This 
has nothing to do with vpn and would be the equivalent to bringing your home 
machine into work and plugging it into the network.

2)      VPN software doesn't typically run scripts after to map drives etc.

You could write an application/script that runs ipsecc.exe (located in the 
shrewsoft install folder) then waits a few seconds or preferably checks for vpn 
connection every few seconds until successful and then tries to map drives.  If 
the vpn connection was present at login time then your drives would map with 
your normal login scripts.



Most people just do it in 2 steps, vpn, map drives.


The syntax for the ipsecc.exe is:
ipsecc.exe -r "name" [ -u <user> ][ -p <pass> ][ -a ]
-r             site configuration path
-u             connection user name
-p            connection user password
-a             auto connect

Subject: [vpn-help] Domain login and network drives map

Hi,

I downloaded the Professional version and I tried to get my network drives 
mapped through the VPN as we do in our office.

The tunnel was established, I was asked to enter my domain credentials, I 
accessed the server folders and files but it doesn't map automatically the 
drives that we have configured in our Windows server 2008 R2 through GPO.

Is there a way to have my network drives mapped with my connection with Shrew 
Soft VPN?

Thanks,
Rosie
