    Possibly. You are connecting to the SBS server by name for both RDP and share? Could be cached DNS.

    What are you using for VPN connectivity and does it supply your internal DNS server when connected? You could run an nslookup while connected to the VPN to verify you are resolving addresses like autodiscover.MyDomain.com or mail.MyDomain.com or EXSVR01.MyDomain.com, etc. If the DNS server is not your internal company DNS server then there is a workaround. You can manually add it to the IPv4 configuration as the preferred DNS server. Here's a good article explaining it:

    Yeah the link will be referencing Windows 7/8 clients for SBS2011 but you adapted just fine. Glad you adapted to Win10.
