I have people out in the field who need to access files on our 2003 server. When they are in the office everything is fine, but when they connect over VPN to the server the only way the can access the drives is to login as administrator. If they try their normal id it says there's no domain available for authentication.

HELP......

I am using Juniper for my VPN solution.

Common problem with VPNs.

Windows authentication uses Kerberos, which uses UDP by default. Out of order packets or mtu issues cause dropped packets and users cannot authenticate to domain. It's a simple registry change on the client PC.
