I am in need of a vb script or small app that will run at start up of a computer. The script or app should automatically run a vpn connection I have set up and map drives I have established. I really don't know where to start. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Todd

Start by saving your script to C:\Windows\System

Then put a line in your Registry at:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run RunScript, REG_SZ, "C:\Windows\System\YourScript.vbs"

This will run your script at start up. You may need to put this in your pc image, or you can lay down this registry key with a login script.

I am not sure about invoking the vpn connection.

Do you want to map drives on the other side of this connection?

Mapping a drive F: for example is:

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
   objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "F:", "\\ServerName\ShareName"

I am not sure if the vpn connection will mess this up. Can you tell me more about the steps you use to make the connection manually?

Sorry, that's:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \RunScript, REG_SZ, "C:\Windows\System\YourScript.vbs"

Please note the "\" added between Run and RunScript
