Is there a way to make Microsoft VPN connect to an IPSEC VPN network similar to the CISCO Client. The reason I am asking this question is because the CISCO VPN client on Windows 7 does not support Start before login, so my organization will have issue with Cached credentials account. I want to know if we can configure a connection using Microsoft VPN which would start pre logon and connect to an IPSEC VPN network

Hi, After testing it on my test machine, I found there is no option "Log on using dial-up connections" in the Windows 7 Logon screen while it is existed in Vista. Therefore, I think we cannot configure the connection start pre-logon in Windows 7. Reference: Where Is “Logon Using Dial-Up Connections” in Windows Vista?
