On Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 you could tick a box that says 'Allow other users to use this VPN' when you initially connected the VPN.
This option is no longer available - how do I set the VPN to be available for connection on the Login screen?
Old question but for anyone trying to find an answer there is a better solution via elevated powershell:
Add-VpnConnection -Name MY_VPN_NAME -ServerAddress MY_VPN_SERVER -AllUserConnection $true -SplitTunneling $true -AuthenticationMethod MSChapv2 -TunnelType Automatic -EncryptionLevel Required -PassThru
-
and WHAT IF, I ... BLOODY NEED TO EDIT THAT CONNECTION ?!? ... I go every account or I study how to do it with powershell commands ?!? ... GEE, thanks ! – THESorcerer May 6 '17 at 14:29

CrayFishUK, my experience for all Windows XP/Vista/7/2008/8/2012/10 This will connect VPN as a SYSTEM user when system starts.
- You will need to create a VPN connection
- Save or not save credential it is not important.
- Find a rasphone.pbk in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk_hiddenPbk
- More nice if you will copy it to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk or attach to exist rasphone.pbk (it is text files)
- Now you need to create scheduler task...
Scheduler task:
- Start after boot
- Program to start has credential to connect VPN
Code:
cmd /c rasdial VPNUSER VPNPASSWORD /PHONEBOOK:"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk" && route add 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.254
- You will need change the creator user to the SYSTEM user
I have add at the end:
route add 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.254
for exampe, how to auto add route when sucsesful connect VPN
If you will need to reconnect VPN when it fails ask a new question and I will help.
By default VPN send all traffic through VPN, if you want to use routes You will need to turn off this future.
