IPsec VPN "shared secret"

Certificate trust validation failed
I also recently migrated from SBS2003 to SBS2008 using a swing kit I purchased. For the most part, everything has worked beautifully.

sbs2003-2008 Migration dcpromo incomplete
I was at the final stage of my migration of SBS2003 to SBS2008 when I made an error.

I have just done a clean install of a plagued Widows XP laptop at a remote location. After creating VPN connection and confirming logon I set the pc to domain instead of workgroup. Now it won't let me login to domain while I am remote saying there is no connection. Obviously I can't start VPN till I get to desk... 14 Jan 2010 04:42
