Q: 

Windows Server 2008 VPN Client

I have a VPN connection set up on my Windows Server 2008 machine. I can connect once I have logged-in to the machine, but I cannot connect prior to logon. The option to connect prior to logon does not appear on the login screen after ctl-alt-del. Any suggestions?

Trying to set up Win Server 2008 as a developer desktop.

+1  A: 

Windows Server 2008 uses the same codebase as Vista, so the option should be similar. I think your answer is here:

I saw a similar article and tried it. It does not work. Apparently, the computer must first be joined to a domain before it allows remote logon... I cannot join my computer to the domain at the moment.

If you're not on a domain, why do you need to connect before logon?

I was trying to log on using a domain account prior to being joined to the domain. Apparently not possible. Now that I am joined to the domain, I see the VPN connection and can login via that connection at the log on screen.
