actually we are using the vpn server included in W2K server to give access to our remote users over the internet (PPTP).

I noticed that you can setup a workstation with Windows XP Prof. also to accept incoming connections as a VPN.

Does anybody know if both are the same regarding to security/principle/etc... ?

 
Win2k server doing the VPN access will alow people in the domain to dial in if they have the correct permissions to do so. But for XP-Pro only local user are able to dial into the machine, even if the machine is part of a domain. If I remember right the ecryption is a bit lower on XP as well.
