You need to understand how the MS VPN client works. If you are planning on
using IPSec, the client uses L2TP over IPSec, not pure IPSec.
This means that the machine store is read for the IPSec authentication
certificate. For the actual user authenticatoin of the VPN, the certificate
must be in the user's store. Thus, you could not have the VPN launched
automatically using a machine assigned certificate. The user would have to
log on to do this or provide credential/certificate to do this
