Hello,
Does anyone know how to disable the "Save this username and password" option for Windows 7 and XP VPN connections? I didn't see the option within the Group Policy connection creation section.
Thanks

I believe that's would be offered in the CMAK.
Otherwise, I'm not sure if this will help, which I quoted from this older thread I found:
"Disable remember user ID and PWD??? windows xp connecting to 2000 vpn is there anyway to disable "save this user name and password for the following users"? I appreciate the help." 4/20/2005
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1046911
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
Value Name:
DisablePasswordCaching
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = disable password cache)
.
Another link I found, and also quoted from that site, and I'm quoting it for you if you don't have an account (you can easily copy and paste the URL, paste it in a BING or Google search, and click on the first hit to get to it):
How to disable 'save password' field in Microsoft VPN client
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Security/Operating_Systems_Security/Windows/Q_21228051.html
====================================
Quoted from above:
[...]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters]
"DisableSavePassword"=dword:00000001
However, if it's still not working even after these gyrations, here's another approach to try:
CMAK: After you create the Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK) package, use flags to modify the .cms file, and then rebuild the package so that the new file is included in the .exe file.
You can use the following flags to hide the checkbox for "save password" for various connections:
[Connection Manager]
HideRememberInternetPassword=1
HideRememberPassword=1
[...]
