Hi all,
I installed RRAS on a VM (Hyper-V) server, in a network in which all computers belong to the same Windows Domain. I only installed VPN - not Dialup or Direct Access. Another VM on the same machine, the PDC, is running the DHCP.
When the RRAS service is started, I see that the DHCP does not allocate the expected 10 addresses. In the Remote Access Management Console, "VPN Addressing" has a red X next to it, and its "operations state" is "DHCP Address Assignment".
Of course, any client trying to connect fails, and the RRAS server shows in its log that there are no IP addresses available to allocate.
The details show:
ERROR: The VPN server cannot obtain IP addresses for VPN clients from the DHCP server
CAUSES: The VPN server cannot obtain IP addresses for VPN clients from the DHCP server.
RESOLUTION:
1. Check network connectivity of the VPN server.
2. Verify DHCP settings.
I tried installing RRAS on 2 other VM on the same Hyper-V box, and sometimes they work, and sometimes they don't.
All hosts can ping each other. If I assign the problematic servers' NICs to get an address from DHCP, they successfully get the address. I assume this proves that there is no problem getting addresses in general.
I also tried shutting down all servers except the DHCP, and then starting the others - but it still didn't help.
I would appreciate it if someone could please help me out here.
TIA,
