I installed the OpenVPN client on my OS X Macbook Pro running Lion and the Microsoft Remote Desktop client immediately stopped working while I am in the office. It still works when I am connected remotely to the office on VPN connection. Has the OpenVPN client replaced a connection tool that Microsoft Remote Desktop needs? Is there a way to toggle which connection tool is used, so I can get MS RDC working again while I am in the office?

Can you ping the workstation you are trying to RDC to while in the office?

dont worry, this is totally unrelated to just installing openvpn. are you running openvpn when you cant access rdc from the office? im guessing you overwrote your route or something along those lines.

It turned out to be a DNS issue. Somehow the DNS servers became "stuck" on the wrong name servers for my home location. Deleting them in the network control panel let DHCP assign the correct ones and all is well again. By the way, when I had VPN going to my office network, the RDP Client worked fine. I just couldn't get to things on my office network while I was in the office.
