Remote desktop over VPN?

[john]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

We have remote clients and yesterday I asked one of them to connect to VPN
so I can do a remote desktop session. Well, when I forced her logoff so
that I could get in to the Remote Desktop session, the VPN disconnected.
Logically, after thinking about it, I guess it makes sense. Her account
connected to the VPN, and when logged off, the connection went w/ it.

Obvious question... any workaround to this?

There is a registry setting which you can manipulate to do this. If you are
uncomfortable manipulating the registry, you can have the user download
Microsoft's TweakUI for Windows XP, from the Powertoys section of the
Windows XP site. This utility will allow you to set "Keep RAS connections
after logoff," in the "Logon" section of the utility, which will allow these
to persist.

You can download this from:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Hope this helps.

Rather than installing TweakUI, can I get this registry entry from
somewhere? I don't mind editing/adding myself.

Thanks for your help!

I am currently attempting to locate it. One question - is the remote user a
member of a Windows domain, or is this a standalone XP Pro machine?

Here you go:

Key:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon]
Value Name: KeepRASConnections
Data Type: REG_SZ
Data0=disable, 1=enable)

Hope that helps.

I thought so, but wanted to make sure - with XP Pro standalone with fast
user switching enabled, you can have multiple simultaneous logon sessions,
and access one at a time via RDP - which would have enabled the VPN
connection to remain connected in one session, while you connected to
another. Joining a machine to a domain removes that as a possibility.
