Not knowing anything about dameware and thus being equally as ambiguous, I can say that, generally speaking, as long as the VPN'd device acquires an IP address on your LAN, and it doesn't have any sort of firewall enabled, and your VPN appliance/firewall is configured for it, you should be able to do whatever you need to do.

Provided your VPN is setup to allow you to talk to the remote machine on port 139 & whatever dameware uses, and you know the admin username & password, you can push out a remote install of the dameware client from your console.

If you don't know the admin details, or your VPN isn't setup to pass the relevant traffic through the firewalls at either end, then you're screwed.
