Microsoft Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK)

The connection manager administration kit is a handy tool to allow users to easily configure their VPN connection on the client workstation. It supports PPTP, L2TP and SSTP.

CMAK creates an executable file that users can download from a Web site. Then all they have to do is double click on the file and the connectoid that you’ve configured for them will be automatically installed on their computers. The users then just need to double click on the connectoid object in the Network Connections folder to dial up the VPN connection. This incurs much less overhead than trying to teach the users how to create their own VPN connections.

Instead of documenting the procedure, I already found an awesome screenshot by screenshot post on windowsecurity.com by Thomas Shinder. Please refer that for more information on how to set it up:
