REPOST: A simple way of distributing a VPN client installation is to create one with CMAK (Found on your WIndows 2003 CD), even though this is mostly aimed at Microsofts ISA server VPN it should work fine with other providers (supports L2TP and PPTP). Its fairly easy to get started and you end up with a single .exe file you can distribute to your users.
One minor glitch seem to be in regard to DNS, you may need to configure a script to deal with this (to ensure that the PPP adapter is the first in the search path. There is a lot more on this in the links below.
Anyway, here is a few links to get you started;

Many people are tired of the UAC (what is UAC) warnings that pop up ever so often in Windows Vista, every time administrator privileges are required you will be prompted if its ok.. Safer than XP, yes for sure, but also annoying – why can’t it learn like the firewall that only prompts once.. I thought about turning UAC off (which is fairly easy) but again I like the added security.
Well Norton to the rescue, Norton is developing a UAC replacement (free for now) that actually will give you the option to answer “Always allow” to those UAC questions, and if you have a shortcut you launch often its annoying like hell to have to approve it EVERY time – but Norton allegedly solves this by letting you “Always allow” and hence only considder the threat once. Neat..
