Domain that new desktop with your Remote Connection VPN

Set up a server side VPN and use Connect to My Workplace to domain your computers form the comfort of your shop along with a RRAS setup on the server

You will need to set up you server-side VPN with RRAS

Once setup on your desktop you need to domain

You'll need IP Address of remote office.

Then go to Network & Sharing>Set up a new connection or network>Connect to workplace, click NEXT

Use My Internet Connection, then type the IP address of the remote connection and give it a Destination name

Input credentials of an authorized VPN user (admin or user)

After VPN sets up connection, go to network & sharing, LEFT Side CHANGE ADAPTER SETTINGS, then the new VPN CONNECTION RT click and check security TAB -make sure MS-CHAP2 is checked.

When connected DOMAIN THE DEVICE.

My Computer>Properties>Advanced System Settings>Computer Name click CHANGE Box
Name the PC, Click the DOMAIN radio button and type the domain:  bozo.local  Dont forget to add the .local after the domain name.

Password box will pop up for you to type the remote Domain controller admin credentials
The Device will say YOU WILL NEED TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER TO APPLY THESE CHANGES.

Click OK, REBOOT, then log into the local user again

Start the VPN, then DONT LOG OFF, use the SWITCH USER and log in as the Domain Admin or domained user. The SWITCH USER keeps the VPN connected so you can add a domained profile, setup shares printers and add apps.! (if the domained user is admin of profile)

TIP
If the user has a roaming profile thats quite large, be prepared for an overnight sync of the profile. That "logging in" screen will sit and sit, but next morning you should be greeted with that synced profile. TIP: setup apps in the admin profile before you log in with the ROAMING profile of the user.


We use this HOW-TO REFERENCE for our interns follow along to setup,and domain pc's to ship out to our clients
