Win2K3 VPN Server Setup
Name: j_butch Date: October 23, 2006 at 10:01:51 Pacific OS: Win 2003 Server CPU/Ram: Xeon 2.8GHz + 2.8Gb RAM Product: Dell PowerEdge 2400
Comment:
I have a Win2k3 box with 2 NICs that is an additional (backup) domain controller, DHCP Server, DNS Server. I would like to use it also as a VPN Server. I configured Routing and Remote Access and used DHCP relay agent as itself (beceuse it is a DHCP Server too). So far so good. My WAN router has got port 1723 mapped to this VPN Server. I try to dial inot this server from remote. It works fine. I get an IP address and i can browse the entire network. AS SOON AS I DISCONNECT my VPN connection, I cannot dial into this server again. Someone has to Re-Start routing and remote access service on this server manually. Then I can connect again. Again, as soon as I disconnect, i can't access it. The cycle carries on and on....Can anyone help? I may be overlooking something quite obvious...

I can't stress this enough.
Do not run RRAS on an application server. You are asking for trouble!
Get another server.

Thanks heropsycho2177
It looks like getting a separate server to handle the RRAS will be my next (and only) option.
However, i'd be interested to know what actually causes me to not be able to connect to that RRAS server after i disconnect the first time

goto network card and disable register DNS. Your RRAS server is registering all the remote clients as "servername" and its causing problems. Common issue when you install RRAS on a DC.
