I've found a other solution now. Since we are using a phonebook file for the VPN Connections, I could easily update all DNS Server Settings for the VPN connections and set our internal DNS there.

Well, actually we are using exact the szenario as you mentioned. RDS Server with multiple user based VPN's. It's a historical thing.. I would love to se a other solution but some customers do only have VPN access. Bigger part of the remote connections are direct connections to the servers.

Does someone know a software or appliance on that I could offload my client VPN connections, and only use static routes from the RDS Server to this "VPN-Client" Appliance?

I know it sounds special, but I'm shure that we are not the only ones with this type of requirements.

do you mean by dedicated VPN Tunnels a site2site VPN? Wich device did you use for that? Your regular firewall?

Since a lot of our support engineers work on this 2012 R2 RDS Server, we face also the problem that when someone connects to the RDS Server, all currently active VPN's on the server get disconnected (by design since Vista).

When I have time, I'll create the reports ;)

Thank you for your fast replies. I think you undersood it wrong. I don't have the classic "routing" issue where the default gateway changes to the VPN Server.

I can still ping my domaincontrollers on my LAN when a VPN is opened, only DNS gives me error, since the primary DNS was changed by the VPN.

In a forum I've found a post where they said, that this command would solve the problem. Only problem is, that i would have to do this for every VPN connection as a "on connect" Script and i don't know if I can pass the variable from the VPN COnnectionname to the script:

netsh interface ipv4 delete dnsservers name="<Interface Name>" address=all validate=no

At the moment the only simple way to solve this would be to create a entry in the HOSTS file for my DC's, but I personally do not like such solutions..

Any other ideas?

Hello,

we are using Remote Desktop Manager Enterprise v9.0.12.0 and have Problems when opening a remote Connection with a Windows VPN (phonebook file).

The main Problem is, as with Windows VPN already known, that the VPN replaces the Primary DNS Server with the DNS Server from the VPN Connection.

Since we are using this product on a RDS Server, we often face the Problem that someone opened a VPN, and the RDS Server does not let other users log in because he cannot contact the DOmain COntroller (via DNS) anymore to verify the user.

Does someone have a good Workaround to solve this Problem?

BTW: Routing is actually not a issue on our VPN's, because we disable the "Default Gateway" Option on very VPN.

Thank you.
