    VPN connections as the user is not visible in Windows 7

    On a Windows 7 pro 64 bit client I created a VPN connection as admin which works. A registered user, this connection is not displayed in the Network Center and he cannot create new ones. Does anyone have a tip for me? Here's perhaps an unintended policy to blame, if so, which? I have followed all the steps that I can do solve the issue that I was facing but unable to find the solution for this problem. If you can provide any related solution for the problem I am facing then it will be really great. I will be waiting for your related reply.

    Do you have the content, because I want to know whether it is approved for all users or not? What happens if he wants to create a new one? Because connection has to be approved for all users, if you want to create a new connection as a user, the following happens: With the same connection name: message is that the name already in use. In other related designation: by setting up shows "The connection can now be used", the connection is, unfortunately, nowhere visible. As a further test, you have to save the short cut for the Admin VPN connection on the user's desktop. This does not work well because the target could not be found.

    Test but with RSOP.MSC whether a GPO is that certain Control Panel icons hide. Error Messages Event log. There has to be a possibility to test for this with RSOP.MSC. You may have already come, but have yet found no directive as to bend something. As a locally-scale user can see the connections, so it can really be just any policy that was unknowingly set in this context. What is, and then you will probably have to find out by trial and error. I hope this has helped to get rid of the problem that you are facing. If you any other issue then do not forget to ping me.

    Within RSOP.MSC> Admin Templates> Network> Network connections. Here they find enough potential sources. Network, it is the point on this client is not under "Administrative Templates" Then the test but on an administrative client to where the GPOs have been created. Or better yet, ask the responsible Admin should know what he has configured. I have already looked at it and I just could not find the setting fit for me to do so. Since this is the first Windows 7 client in the domain, it is only now on. In XP I did not have this behavior.

    Re: VPN connections as the user is not visible in Windows 7

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and have an annoying problem for some time: I can in the Network and Sharing Center to create and use a VPN connection. If I turn off your computer when you restart the connection is no longer visible. It must be created. However, I use the same name as before; I get the message that this compound would be present. As my VPN connection get visible again or how can I create a VPN connection permanently? In my second computer (Windows 7 Home Premium) all this is not a problem. Since the connection is created once, it is permanently visible and usable.

    If so, check in the Share and Network Center "Adapter Settings" the properties of the VPN connection. Probably there the automatic connection is disabled. However, the VPN connection in "Adapter Settings" is not at all visible. So you cannot change their settings. The only indication that the computer that connection somehow "knows" is that when you create a VPN connection, the same message "connection with this name already exists" issues. One more thing did you connect to a 3rd party program because a little strangely, that although there is a VPN connection, but is not listed on the adapters.
