Hi there,
Just purchased the enterprise version, but having problems with Windows VPN connections not connecting. Here's what we've done:
- Installed the VPN add-ons
- Added a valid VPN record with correct credentials
Keep getting an error back saying "Unable to open VPN connection, do you want to continue?". It works fine if we manually create the VPN connection in Windows, then link to the file.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how do we fix it?

Just to be sure, what type of vpn you have created? Is it Microsoft VPN?

for windows vpn connections you need a configured VPNConnection on your system, completely outside of RDM.
you can do it by control center-> networkconnections ->new networkconnection -> connection to workplace -> VPN-Connection
then you have to enter the name of the connection and then the domain (e.g. example.dyndns.org).
after finish this assisent, you can choose the connection in RDM VPN-Name ist the same as connection name in the vpn-assistent

We also use RDM Enterprise (on SQL) for our team. Microsoft VPN connections are one thing I haven't really been able to 'share' with everyone. Is there some way to automatically create the VPN connection via RDM?

You can try to embed the phonebook. It's the only way I've found.

Hey Echo,
We first set-up a Vm machine with all our VPN connections on them, then exported the ras phonebook (located C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk on XP) and stored in a shared location that each team member could access.
We then pointed RDM to this shared phonebook, and choose the appropriate connection. All works fine for us.

Thanks a lot  I did a bit of googling after my initial post this morning (only just seen your replies now!) and had stumbled on similar methods!
Seems to be the way to go!

Thanks for the settings!! I want to ask one thing about Windows VPN connection that I want to setup connection to my remote server for file sharing and downloading purpose but it is denying the application by saying remote host is not connected but our router working properly. Can you help me on this matter.

We have put the .pbk file on a file share and use that.
You can add connections by creating them on your local system and then copy the ini segment from your local file to the central located file
The local file is located here: %AppData%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk
Also we have not stored the VPN settings in the session directly, but created dedicated VPN sessions, with the credentials stored in a central place.
On the various sessions we use "existing session" vpn type to connect.
btw, an embedded .pbk file which could be accessed by multiple VPN sessions would be nice. that would make the file share obsolete

Hi,
We have an idea that might simplify the shared pbk but I'm not sure when we will implement this. However I'm aware of the limitation.

We're now replacing the users pbk with a network shared version at login, then storing all the usernames and passwords into RDM. This works perfect.

we have saved our pbk on the network too. for edit sessions or to create new session we have configured a commandline "session" with the following command:
rasphone -f K:\Users\Alle\RemoteDesktopManager\rasphone.pbk
it works great!
