Use a different .pbk file

Published 17 years ago

Hi,

I would like to use a .pbk file stored on the network for the VPN connections, instead of the one on the local machine.
Is this possible or will it be on a future release?

Regards,

Hi,
It first sight, it's not a problem. I will have to look at it, but I will add this to my todo list. I'm not familiar with .pbk, do you know if it could be launched directly with a double click ? If it is and you have Enterprise Edition, you can add this "Before Connection" section the the "Script" tab page.

Have a nice day...

Thank you for your answer.

.pbk files are associated width rasphone.exe. If you start rasphone.exe for the VPN, it uses the default .pbk file from \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk
If you start rasphone -f c:\myPhoneBook.pbk, it uses that .pbk file.

I see that RDM establishes the VPN connection using rasdial. You can use the parameter /PHONEBOEK:c:\whateveryouwant\myPhonebook.pbk to use a different phonebook file.
