Cannot find Routing and Remote Access

Question

I have a remote desktop server (Win XP SP3 German), and i need to configure a vpn. However, i cannot find Routing and remote access anywhere - I also tried with Start --> Run --> rrasmgmt.msc, but it says that the file doesn't exists. What is the problem ? Do i need to isntall additional files ? Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Try installing the Windows 2003 Administration Tools. The download is available from MS here.

Solution 2

RRAS is not there in Windows XP. Its on Server OS

for server, try: http://www.winplat.net/post/How-to-install-Remote-and-Routing-Service-(RRAS)-on-Windows-Server-2008.aspx

Solution 3

If you've installed the Administrative tools Pack and you can't find the snap-in, recreate it by going to an mmc console:

• go to run>type "mmc"
• go to File: Add/Remote Snap-in,
• click "Add" and find it there.

It is included with WinXP but disabled by default.

I don't see RRAS as an option in my MMC on XP. I guess it would need to be installed separately, but where do you get it from?

@squillman, do you mean that you need to install the W2k3 resource kit to get it, or there something else that needs to be done?

[squillman]

No, it is part of WinXP. To get the MMC snap-in for RRAS admin, though, you need to install the Admin Tools (not the resource kit).

Win 2003 Admin tools pack, as I mentioned before (Just because it's for server 2003 doesn't mean it's not going to work): microsoft.com/downloadS/…
