I was wondering if it is possible to query (powershell, ADUC, etc) and generate a list of users who are able to login to a VPN server running on Windows Server 2008 R2?

Is the main thing that controls the ability to connect to VPN for a given user just depend on the settings on the Dial In tab?

Edit

For Techie007, here is the error output

 Select-Object : Cannot process argument because the value of argument "obj" is null. Change the value of argument "obj" to a non-null value. At C:\Users\itsupport\function.ps1:5 char:58 + $dialin = Get-ADUser $username -Properties * | select <<<< -ExpandProper ty msNPAllowDialin + CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Select-Object], PSArgument NullException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ArgumentNull,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Selec tObjectCommand 

The above output gets printed out over and over and over, and then it will print a single username, and then show the error again, and then print another username, and then show the error again. Any idea as to why it is doing that?

Yes, and you can get it with PowerShell (run on a domain controller) like this:

$usernames = Get-ADUser -Filter * | select -ExpandProperty SamAccountName foreach ($username in $usernames) { $dialin = Get-ADUser $username -Properties * | select -ExpandProperty msNPAllowDialin if ($dialin -eq "True") { Write-Output $username } } 

Alternatively, you can get it from a command-prompt (run on a domain controller) using dsquery:

dsquery * -Filter "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(msNPAllowDialin=TRUE))"
