We have remote mobile users connecting through a permanent
VPN tunnel to our LAN in the Main office. However, they
aren't authenticating to the DC's here. This is causing
issues because mapped drives and shared files are pulled
from the authenticating server. Is there a way to force a
user to authenticate to a specific server? Perhaps with
the set command?
 
How are the remote users connecting? Making a VPN connection is not like
a LAN connection. It merely sets up an IP connection. It does not do a
domain login or set up any new credentials.

You can force a domain login by using the "logon using a dialup
connection" option in the login dialog box. Otherwise, the client uses the
credentials of its original logon (to the local machine).
