hello,

here is the issue, im running a MS 2003 server / terminal server with AD, internet explorer was upgraded to 7.0, now all of a sudden when a user logs on to the terminal server, the user is prompted to choose the default internet connection. It's defaulting to a setting, not even under the administrator profile, it's defaulting to a VPN connection, of course if you choose "settings" and use "never dial a connection" and then work online, then IE will work, but i have over 200 users, is there anyway i can automate this or correct it a different way?

Thanks in advance

I'm assuming you mean you have a WINDOWS 2003 DC, and another server running Terminal Server. Correct? Please tell me you're not trying to run Terminal Server on a domain controller.

If so, you should be able to create a GPO and set the appropriate connection settings, and have it apply to those users.

Just an FYI that that's not recommended by Microsoft because of many security concerns, along with some compatibility issues, IIRC.
