Is there a way to configure PPTP VPN on Windows Server which automatically tells the client to add a route for the private network?

I have to do it manually on every PC (once) using following command for example:

 route add 192.168.111.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.112.101 -p

and assigning a fixed IP address for every account.

I haven't actually tried it, but I believe this should do what you want if you're using a windows (?2003+) domain.

At the bottom of the 'Dial-in' tab of the active directory user properties for the user you want to enable it for there's an 'Apply static routes' checkbox, and a button for entering those routes.

I'd recommend you configure your DHCP server to provide the proper routes to the client via option 121, "Classless Static Routes". The VPN client's DHCP client will send a DHCPINFORM after connecting to the VPN and should receive the routes from the DHCP server. This works in Windows 7 and, if memory serves, in both Vista and XP as well.

  • Necessary comment is that class-based routes addition should be disabled in connection configuration.

You can add the routes via a DHCP option, I think it's 249. Add it to the scope that is providing addresses to the RRAS server.
