    I called up Microsoft Technical Support and they told me it was not
    directly supported.

    To quote the Microsoft support article
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240262/EN-US/

    "Although Microsoft does not support or recommend the use of a
    preshare key for IKE authentication on remote access L2TP/IPSec client
    connections..."

    Are you able to help me?
