Re: having vpn issues



Hello Glopin,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you unable to enable VPN
service on SBS. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate
to let me know.

First, we do not recommend customer install ISA server 2004 on SBS 2003
standard edition. There will be many network related issues like you
experienced if you do that. Otherwise we do not need ISA if you also want
to setup VPN service. The RRAS on SBS is enough for the VPN service.
Therefore, I suggest you uninstall ISA server 2004 from SBS, and try the
following steps to setup VPN service on SBS:

1) Disable RRAS

a. Schedule a network down time.

b. Please open Routing and Remote Access console on SBS thru run command
"rrasmgmt.msc"

c. Right click the SBSname (local), select Disable Routing and Remote
Access console

2) Run CEICW on SBS

You have to rerun the CEICW to make sure your SBS 2003 server have right
network configuration. Go through the follow KB and Rerun CEICW again
carefully.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825763/en-us

3) Run Remote Access wizard

a. On the Small Business Server 2003-based server, click To Do List in the
left pane of the Server Management console.

b. Under Network Tasks, click Configure Remote Access.

c. Click Next, click Enable Remote Access, click to select the VPN Access
check box, and then click Next.

d. Type the fully qualified public domain name (your public DNS name) of
your server, click Next, and then click Finish.

e. When the wizard is completed, click Close.

4) Then you can access RWW to download Connection Manager or copy the file
from SBS server c:\ ClientApps\Connection Manager\SBSPackage.exe. Please
save the sbspackage.exe file in VPN client computer. Then double-click
SBSPackage.exe to run it. After this file run the "connect to small
business server" will be created and you can use it to connect VPN to your
SBS server.

If we cannot resolve the issue after we perform the above steps, please
help me collect some information for further investigation:

1. Run command "ipconfig /all > c:\ipconfig_sbs.txt" and "route print >
c:\route_sbs.txt" on SBS, send the files c:\ipconfig_sbs.txt and
c:\route_sbs.txt to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

2. Run command "ipconfig /all > c:\ipconfig_client.txt" and "route print >
c:\route_client.txt" on problematic client, send the files
c:\ipconfig_client.txt and c:\route_client.txt to me at
v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Gather MPS network report on SBS:

a. Download MPSrepot_network from
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd9
15706/MPSRPT_NETWORK.EXE

b. Run MPSRPT_NETWORK.exe on the server box.

c. The tool will automatically collect the information. This procedure will
take 10~15 minutes.

d. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder:
%SystemRoot%\MPSReports\Network\Reports\Cab\

e. Send the .cab file directly to me at v-terliu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
