Desktop support Engineers must have come across a situation where you need to create a Domain user profile over VPN. You would have thought the user profile can be created only if the system is connected to LAN. If the user is sale person or consultant who sits in Client locations at the time we cannot ask the user to ship the machine to your local office to fix the problem, this include cost and time.

RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run – explorer/separate
