The scenario is as follows:

Home Computer --> RDP Office Computer
Office Computer --> VPN --> Corporate Headquarters

XP pro is running on both home and office computer.

Office Computer is a stand-alone computer. (No Domain Controller; Static IP
on Broadband Connection)

Connecting through RDP to Office works fine.

From office computer VPN connection to Corporate works fine from the office.

What is trying to be achieved is having VPN connect once an RDP session is
established.

Why?
Why not Home Computer --> VPN --> Corporate?

Your problem is that once you connect to the VPN at the corporate office -
that machine is ON that network.
Your easiest solution is to just connect to the VPN at the corporate office
from home.
 
Ok let me answer your questions:

As an independent representative of a company; they work for themselves but
are allowed access to the corporate Exchange Server. For security reasons,
the office machine MAC and IP address are allowed to traverse the corporate
network.

In addition to the preceding reason, the Outlook pst file is located on the
machine in the office; Outlook requires the VPN connection to access the
Exchange server.

Through the "easiest solution is to just connect to the VPN at the corporate
office from home," it is not a viable solution.
