In the tree view, drill down to DHCP > [your server] > IPv4 > Scope [your scope] > Scope Options. Make sure the option is in that list. If not, right-click > Configure Options and add it. Our AD domain ends in .com, not .local. I'm not sure if ending in .local would make it not resolve for some reason, so that might be something to check out, too. Good luck! @AllenM

Our AD domain ends in .com, not .local. I’m not sure if ending in .local would make it not resolve for some reason, so that might be something to check out, too. Good luck!

Everything seems to work fine as far as connecting. Connection from home is also fast and stable. I was pointed to this site as a suggestion to my issues which appears this may be the fix. 1. From a VPN connection I cannot access any server and share using the run command \\servername\sharename. What I can do from a run command is \\servername.domain.local\sharename. So now that I still have the same issue I am unclear about this comment to fis it. "If it doesn’t, make sure your DHCP server is using that 015 DNS Domain Name option, which the SBS 2008 wizards set up by default." Where do I go to check and verify this. Thanks in advance.

Without proper name resolution it is impossible for people to connect and access their files. Awesome! Thanks for a really simple solution to a huge problem with users connecting remotely.
