Transferring VPN connections from one computer to another?

[fiordhraoi]

Hi all,

I have a new computer in the office, and I need to get all of the VPN connections added on to it from an existing one. Normally I wouldn't mind doing this manually, but in this case there are 40 or so different VPN connections. Is there a way to transfer those connections from one computer to the other, or am I out of luck and stuck doing it manually?

Oh, and everything is running XP Pro, latest updates.

thanks!

Jason

You need to distinguish connectoids:

. XP made connectoids cannot be copied successfully, as this would breach the security of the passwords so they are not included when copied.

. Third-party VPN clients may well allow copying the connectoids. Check the web site of the VPN author.

. This can help a great deal:

Yeah, these are the XP made ones.

Even if I could just copy them without the passwords, that would be great. That much less work for me to do.

Does the "Settings" side of the File and Settings Transfer wizard handle that type of things?
