Hi,
We are implementing an AD infrastructure, and we ran into an issue with remote colleagues: they login remotely (so with stored ad credentials), and after that they open a VPN to the office. When they try to access shared resources, they get denied, as thy are not actually logged in to the domain.
The only way I found so far is to login to the VPN, logoff from Windows and login again while the VPN is up. We use a 3rd party VPN solution, so we can't implement always ON VPN, or at least we don't have another dedicated Windows server to implement VPN.
Is there any way they can actually refresh their AD login after connecting to the VPN, from a script or something?
Thank you,
Alex

Thank you.
This is kind of cumbersome, especially if the PN goes down during the day and one would need to close all opened files and programs just to be able to reach the NAS.
I saw you can login to a VPN before logging in to Windows, but the NAS VPN does not connect. Does that have to be a VPN on the domain controller?
Hello @Alexandru ,
Thank you for your update.
After my discussion with my colleague, if Windows 10 Always On VPN device tunnel is configured correctly, it should establish a VPN connection before the user logs on.
Currently, we do not know other way for your requirement.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Hope the information above is helpful.
Should you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.
