Monitor or log Microsoft VPN (RAS)

[alura]

I have a SBS 2003 server that clients connect to via VPN. It is just the basic VPN setup that the SBS wizard walks you through, so I haven't done anything out of the ordinary.

Is there a way to monitor users amount of time that they use their VPN from home? I've always used IPsec based VPN's that go from client to router, I don't have much experience with the microsoft VPN.

On another note, the server is currently set as all of the workstations default gateway (server has 2 NICs) and from the outgoing NIC it runs into another router, so NAT is basically being done twice. If I change it to a normal setup, will the microsoft VPN still function as long as I forward the right ports?

Thanks-jason

Any ideas? The only thing I can think of (that I really don't want to do) is use the export feature in event viewer and somehow pull out RAS events.

I'd appreciate any input.

Go to RRAS server properties and choose log all. Better than you have to filter your windows event.

What do you mean with normal setup? As long as you forward & allow vpn on your router to your sbs you will not have any problem
