Group Policy via vpn connection
my experience with this was to setup VPN then remote as admin (since end user profile doesn't know anything yet about your VPN) assuming you have remoting solution on end user's computer.
then apply gpupdate /force then switch user while VPN still connected and have user login and finally do gpupdatep /r to see if new gpos are applied

so you suggest to access the employee computer, when the vpn is up, via remote desktop accessing with domain administrator account, then on domain controller apply the policy (gpupdate /force) and switch on the computer and let the user login: right? I'll try this.
(since end user profile doesn't know anything yet about your VPN)
when you say this, you reference user profile on client notebook or in AD?
I also tried to configure the vpn so it is possible to connect to the vpn at login but have no luck, I have same error.
I've also seen that, sometimes (and sincerely I don't know at this time to replicate this), if in Group Policy Management in AD I click on the OU where the policy is linked, and choose Group Policy Update and try to apply, the policy is correctly executed.. but on the notebook there is no corresponding result.
Any idea is appreciated.
