[UCIMC-Tech] Windows VPN client figured

[Brian Duggan]

I finally got a hold of a test Windows machine and sat down to figure

works after some fiddling. I wrote it up here:

I know of one laptop user who said it messed up his wifi connection.
Here's how he got it to work again:

I'll go about getting the Finance folks set up.
