We have about 3-400 mobile laptop users that never work on the company network. OS is windows xp. Does anyone know any pre-boot VPN solutions where the VPN connection is established before or during boot in such a way that it is semi seamless to the user and that works in such a way that the connection is up before the login prompt. The mobile user must be able to log in to AD from any network.
Software/Hardware used: Windows XP, Lenovo ThinkPad
I found this regarding the juniper vpn client (which I've never used before):
"Using Juniper NC GINA should make the Juniper client dial-up VPN before the Windows Logon."
Check it out and see if you have the option it mentions ("Require NC to start when logging into Windows"):

Yes, I tend to agree with sixball, another thing I learned about the Juniper NC gina that it does not support two mode authentication, one or the other. And their latest vpn client replacing the NC client still doesn't :(
