Hi Brent,

Thank you for posting here.

Based on my research, the RRAS 20153 and 7024 errors are always caused by
logging. I'd like to provide you with the following suggestions.

Suggestion 1.

Check logging:

1. Open RRAS snap-in.
2. Go to Remote Access Logging.
3. In the right pane, make sure that the Local File has been pointed to an
available folder.
4. Disable SQL Server logging.

Suggestion 2.

Please backup and replace the following 2 files and try to start RRAS
service again.

C:\Windows\System32\ias\ias.mdb
C:\Windows\System32\ias\dnary.mdb

If the files have been corrupted, the error logs will appear.

I hope the above info helps.

If you have any update, please feel free to post back.
