Automating a network or dial-up connection

You can automate the connection process for a network or dial-up connection by using the autodial feature. With autodial enabled, network addresses are mapped to connection destinations, which allows a destination connection to be automatically dialed when a remote resource is referenced.

You can also automate the connection process for any Microsoft client by using a simple batch file and the rasdial command or by using a custom application that recognizes remote access.
