Let me explain the scenario first.
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition Which is also the Domain Controller. I installed NPS server role and configured RAS for VPN. After installing this, I lost the access of the server. (I was doing this via RDP, since the server is in a Remote Location). Also, there was no Ping to the server from any other machine (even from the local machines connected from the Datacenter). I restarted the server, I started getting PING, was able to connect to the server for a few minutes (5 mins approx) and again lost the connection. There was no PING again to the server.
I removed the NPS server role from the server and the removal process completed successfully. But, still the server is not accessible. There was a few PING request during the time when the server comes up after the reboot but again it goes once the server comes up. Surprisingly, though the NPS role was uninstalled, the Routing and Remote Access Service is still available in 'services.msc' console.
I stopped the service, and everything was again working. I got the remote access, was able to take the RDP etc. I would now like to remove RRAS service from the server. NPS role has been completely removed. But, still it exists. What can be done. Does anyone have any idea. Please feel free to ask me if you need any further information regarding the setup.
Thanks in advace.
