Hello, I'm having a few people struggling to get a VPN connection to our 2012 R2 server. We have a static pool of 13 addresses but they don't all get used even though there is demand from remote users ie the connection attempt is rejected even when there is enough IP addresses in the static pool. In this screen shot I'm confused as to what the 192.168.8.192 IP Address is? When the static range was entered it just appeared. Do you need enough free IP address for the range you enter plus the generated IP Address? Many thanks

Hello, I am hoping this is an easy fix, it seems like it should be. I've literally spent the entire day trying to get a bog standard unsecured PPTP VPN set up on Server 2012 R2 with a single NIC. I've done it a million times before but for some reason it just won't work. My clients can connect fine, but once connected and authenticated, they cannot access anything. No internet and no internal resources, they cannot even ping anything by IP address. Once connected I tried pinging google (8.8.8.8), my router's IP address, my internal DNS server's IP address and the RRAS server's IP address, no response from any of them. My clients are Windows 10. I initially tried L2TP with a pre-shared key, but was not even able to get authenticated, so I thought I'd take it back to basics first with PPTP. If i run 'route print' once connected, i get this: IPv4 Route Table =========================================================================== Active Routes: Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 4265 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.129.231 26 [MY VPN SERVER IP ADDRESS] 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 4266 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 4556 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 4556 127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 4556 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 On-link 192.168.1.2 4521 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 4521 192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 4521 192.168.128.0 255.255.254.0 On-link 192.168.129.231 26 192.168.129.231 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.129.231 281 192.168.129.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.129.231 281 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 4556 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.1.2 4521 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.129.231 26 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 4556 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 4521 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.129.231 281 =========================================================================== If I run 'route print' BEFORE connecting to my VPN, i get this: IPv4 Route Table =========================================================================== Active Routes: Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 40 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 331 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331 127.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 On-link 192.168.1.2 296 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 296 192.168.1.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 296 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 127.0.0.1 331 224.0.0.0 240.0.0.0 On-link 192.168.1.2 296 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 127.0.0.1 331 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 On-link 192.168.1.2 296 =========================================================================== My IP address at home where i am testing it is 192.168.1.2 subnet mask at home is 255.255.0.0 default gateway at home 192.168.1.1 When connected to the VPN, the PPP adapter details are: IP address: 192.168.129.231 (this came from the pool i set up within the properties of the RRAS server) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.255 Default gateway: 0.0.0.0 I have tried removing routing and remote access and adding it again, I've rebooted the server, restarted services, nothing seems to make any difference.

Hello Experts, I am having a weird problem regarding NPS Server when I upgraded my vpn servers from server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2. Actually in my infrasturcture I have a Windows 2008 R2 based AD and in its domain I have an NPS server joined as member server. This NPS server is based on server 2012 R2, when I upgraded my VPN servers from server 2008 R2 to server 2012 R2 the IKEv2 stops working every other protocols works on windows 7 when I try to connect using IKEv2 it hangs at verifying username and password nad when I tested IKEv2 in Win 8 it says IKE authentication credentials are unacceptable, inspite that my server certificate is valid EKU compatible. When I connected IKEv2 via my other server whose server 2008 R2 based VPN Server The IKEv2 works like a charm without any issues successfully authenticating. The problem seems to be with Server 2012 R2 based RRAS VPN Server.On my both server 2012 VPN and server 2008 R2 VPN servers the NPS server is added in the Radius Authentication. With options of MS-CHAPv2 and EAP selected in authentication options. I try to connect to the VPN server from Windows 8 "13801: IKE authentication credentials are unacceptable." When I try to connect via Win 7 Client the session hangs at verifying username and password. In the event logs I see this error.. after this error the session just hangs at verifying username and password..... http://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=ce149a84-52e6-4448-812b-cdb878ac0ad4 Any Ideas...???? When I run the Best Practice Analyzer for Routing and Remote Access Services (RRAS) on the server I received two highlighted warning regarding server certificates. Any clues whats the problem with IKEv2.... http://fud.community.services.support.microsoft.com/Fud/FileDownloadHandler.ashx?fid=b441f8d5-7b44-416b-9d95-22e956350eb2 Please help me in this regards....this problem is driving me nuts...!!! Thanks

Hi Guys, So, I've recently been trying to configure DHCP on Server 2008 Box and, for the moment, it seems to running all good, it's managing to find the DHCP server and the clients are all being dished out with IP's and relevant network information... However, what I'm trying to do is to share internet through the Server... As the server has two (2) NICS on-board I thought all that was required was to have one cable running from the first NIC into the modem/router and a cable running from the second NIC back into the switch, and then just configuring the gateway on the clients to point to the first NIC... However, the only machine that is getting an internet connection is the server. Help would be very much appreciated - If anyone has full instructions on how to do this, I will love you forever! Because this has been bugging me for the last week and a half! - I have read on Google from various sites that you are required to run a NAT server through RRAS - Is this correct? Thanks, James.
