Join Active Directory Domain

T4K

Hi, I wonder is it possible to join a user to an Active Directory domain while using openvpn ? You know where you try and authenticate a user as they log in to a new machine ?

Currently we have to use the "use a dial-up connection" option on the windows logon screen via a pptp connection which is a pain in the back side

Thanks

the details of his question can be ignored... he is using a tun vpn.
He wanted to join Active Directory over his vpn.

How will it lookup via LDAP on your domain without DNS?

If you use DHCP built into OpenVPN you can try this:
push "dhcp-option DNS x.x.x.x"

It works for me!

I don't even need WINS.

Ok I ahve had a look but to be honestr I cant see how it relates to what Im doing.

I think what I need to do is use the new openvpn client and do a local profile

but when I try it wont let me log on. It may have to do with the version of openvpn access server we are running

I wish you had mentioned you use access-server earlier.
You get professional support
