Hello all.

I have been recently put in charge of a project that I am only about 50% familiar with. I have a client who would like a VPN set up on a server (Windows 2003) to have 5 clients connect to it to use a database software that is housed on it. I have set up VPN on the server using Windows VPN. I have also set up 5 user accounts to connect to it. Question I have now is, how can I have the 5 clients use this software and do the work they need to do once they are connected?

I noticed that in the User properties there is an Environmental tab which allows a program to be launched once connected but not sure if that's where I want to be. If anyone can help me out with this or even link me to a guide that will help me with this will be appreciated.

When the user connects to the VPN, they should be assigned an ip etc on the same subnet as the server (and DNS too preferably). This would then allow you to use RDC or terminal services to connect to the server to run the database application, OR to lanuch the application from the desktops of the connected workstations, that really depends on the application.
