Re: Bypass DNS server for out of office use

Hello BeckyBoo123,

About using VPN connection to the network i suggest that you use:
microsoft.public.windows.networking

Just describe what your network look and what VPN solution you have. You
can also use RRAS server on a Member server, NOT on DC.

Best regards
