Hi,

I work as an IT consultant and often need to connect remotely to client
sites, so have set up approximately 35 of our clients with VPN
capability.  As each of these get set up, we generate a VPN connectoid
in the network connections box.  This all works great until we have to
re-image one of the machines and I lose all the connections we've set
up recently (since the last re-image).

Myself and my boss (both MCSE certified) have racked our brains for
months over this, and can't find anything that really does the job of
backing up our vpn connections.  The CMAK would enable me to create
individual connectoid installers, but to be honest I just want to back
them all up in one go and then be able to restore them onto any machine
- it's a pain to have to set up all the machines in the office manually
every time we update our VPN's.

any help would be GREATLY appeciated.

thanks

Jake

thanks for that, but it's not really what I'm looking for - the text
files it creates don't seem to mention anything about my vpn
connectoids, so I can't see how replaying the file would recreate them.

any other ideas ?

thanks once again,

jake
