Concurrent Connections 2 users on same machine

ontljoshi — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 16:26:05 GMT

would like to know if there's a way to have a user connects to the VPN via GP and then upon switch user let another user connect with the laptop and establish the VPN connection and return to the first user and disconnect.

this is purely for the support perspective would like IT team to connect to the machine and then establish VPN and switch user so the normal user can log on to laptop. This would help them in various scenarios like Disjoined PC and User password expiry etc.

so wonder is there any way to have 2 users can establish concurrent sessions, I'm sure there should be a way to achieve this as cisco had it.

is there anyone in the live community can help?

would the pr-logon option work for you. any user can connect remotely to the device prior to user logon... save an essay.. take a look here...

Hi Mick,

thanks for your reply. we have already thought of that and issues is about CA and it would make it complicated more in the current environment of RemoteWorking. so if there's any way to have two connections at the same time would be best.

thanks again.
