Hi,
Thank you for posting in SBS newsgroup.
From the description, I understand the issue to be: you get an error whenyou configure remote access. If I have misunderstood your concerns, please
do not hesitate to let me know.
As I know, you may need to follow the steps below to configure VPN access
on an SBS environment:
1. Run CEICW, follow the wizard and select Enable firewall and then make
sure Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is selected in the Services
Configuration page. And make sure you have typed the public FQDN of the SBS
server on the Web Server Certificate page.
2. Run Remote Access Wizard in Server Management\Internet and
E-mail\Configure Remote Access, and select VPN access in the Remote Access
Method page. After finishing this wizard, RRAS is configured to allow
inbound VPN access, and it can assign IP addresses to the VPN clients by
using DHCP.
Note: When we run the remote access wizard to set up the VPN service, we
need to input the public IP address or the public FQDN of the SBS server.
We need to make sure that the address can be accessed from the internet.
3. On the VPN client, go to https://publicFQDN/remote, clear I'm using a
public or shared computer, log in and download Connection Manager.
4. Install Connection Manager on the VPN client.
5. Is there a hardware router installed in front of the SBS server? If so,
ensure that the port forwarding for TCP 1723 and GRE port (protocol number
47) are opened. PPTP VPN is negotiating a connection on TCP port 1723 and
send data to and from the PPTP server using the GRE protocol (IP Protocol
47, 0x2F if you are looking in Network Monitor). You should open port 1723
on the router and also make sure IP Protocol 47 is allowed.
Also you may need to check network configuration on SBS and client computer:
On SBS server:
External NIC:
IP: assigned by your ISP or your hardware router
Gateway: your ISP or your Hardware router IP
DNS: SBS INTERNAL NIC IP as the only entry
Internal NIC:
IP: Fixed IP
Gateway: None
DNS: SBS INTERNAL NIC IP as the only entry
In the DNS console (dnsmgmt.msc), right click your ServerName and click
properties. In the Forwarders tab, your ISP DNS server IP should be
inputted there.
On workstation inside your SBS local subnet
IP: Assigned by DHCP on SBS
Gateway: SBS internal NIC IP
DNS: SBS INTERNAL NIC IP as the only entry
