Vista Network Location Awareness and DUN


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a client who is about to deploy Vista to its business and one of its

legacy desktop apps is a client dialler which uses DUN to connect to server

services. The application works but NLA kicks in upon connection. The users

of the application can only select the PUBLIC profile and what we would like

is to bypass this prompt in the first place since it can only lead to

confusion. I have had a look at the Firewall Policy and can't see anything

there which would allow us to say "whenever this DUN connection is made" or

"whenever a remote interface is connected" apply the public profile without

prompt.

 

Given that the profile being assigned is the most restrictive I was hoping

there would be a way to bypass the NLA prompt?

 

All thoughts gratefully received.

You might have better luck in

microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing since this sounds like

it is as much of a networking issue as a security issue.

big and sinister going on in the world.

Slartibartfast: No, that's perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the

universe gets that.
