VPN and domain

Hello,
I have a PC that has a VPN connection to the network, but I want to be able to logon to the domain when I turn on my computer. Problem is I can't contact the domain controller without connecting with the VPN first, which I can't do without having logged in.
So is there any way I can login locally then connect with VPN, and THEN connect to the domain or something?

If your equipment is capable of creating an encrypted VPN tunnel then that's the way you'd want to go. Effectively, this would leave you connected to the domain at all times and then when you logged into your PC, you'd be logging into the domain.

The thing is, when you login to the domain there is a script that runs and I need that to run. But if I'm logged in to the PC then connect with the VPN, it doesn't run since it's not logging in
