Windows 2000 AS SP3
The machine has been running smooth for almost a year. I set up RRAS as a VPN one day as a test. It worked fine, then I disabled RRAS via the MMC, which appeared to work correctly. Then a friend wanted to see how to set up VPN so I went into the MMC and POOF, the Enable and Configure option was gone off of the server object in the MMC tree. The option appears when I right click on the server object in the RRAS MMC root window but is greyed out. The Disable option is there but doesn't appear to do anything but stop the service. At first I still had all of the interface, policy, port containers etc. under the server object but now those don't even show. Only the server object appears. I can start and stop the service without incident but it does not function.
I have scoured the net for a solution but nothing. Technet doesn't even have anything close.
I get no errors logged. It is almost as if the MMC is broken. I re-installed the adminpak but no luck. Yes I have re-booted. I conpared all known registry values and files to those on a working server and all seems to be in order. This is the weirdest windows problem I have ever seen.
If anyone has any idea please let me know.
