SSTP Client Static IP Address

[ITGURU]

Hi,

I have a server 2016 set up with Routing and Remote Access for VPN Access to the network. Windows 10 client using default settings gets a DHCP ip from the normal range.

However, i want to assign a static IP address to the client that connects.

In the SSTP VPN properties, i have set the static IP and the DNS servers, but it will not successfully connect.

I get an error saying "a connection could not be established, might need to change the settings for the connection.

How can i ensure that a client always connects with the same IP address?

As soon as i select obtain automatically it connects successfully.

Thanks

Could you not give it a reservation on the DHCP server?

All the VPN clients just shows as RAS and the name of the VPN server so not sure how it would distinguish which client is which by reserving?

The last time I setup RAS was part of a 2003 lab exercise in college.

However logically their must be some sort of identifier passed onto dhcp if the clients are getting a lease, unless its random each session.
