I have the following situation... I have a Windows 2000 SBS on which I am running the Microsoft VPN. I have several Independent Sales Reps (not part of our company) that require access to selected files... I have created USERids in AD for these people (which is how they authenticate to setup the VPN and how access to the files is set as well). The problem is that on their notebook computers they are logging in locally and not to the domain. Once through the VPN, their local login is queried for access control to the files on the server... How do I get them to authenticate for file access on the server with the same credentials that they used to connect to the VPN?

if you have correct wins and dns setup, and they logon as the domain users locally, that should work. if they logon as local users (no domain users), you may want to create a batch file including net use command.
