We have an existing dial-up network. All dial-up configurations are done (creation of dialers, dns configuration entries, dial-up nos., etc.) are done by our technical group. Now, we have about 500 new laptops, we are having a hard time configuring their dial-up network because they are located in remote areas. The question is, can we automate the creation of this dial-up network? or can we copy an original dial-up network configuration set-up in one of our PCs in our main office, copy it to a disk and distribute it to all laptop users? Just a reminder, these users knew little about PC configurations and setup, so we are trying to find an easier task for them to do.

This is probably not documented anywhere by MS. If you hold down control and drag the connectiod (dial-up networking connection) to somewhere like the desktop a .dun file is created with all the info. Drag that file to the dialup networking folder and voila the connection is replicated to the new computer. I don't know how to perform this in win2k yet.
