Hi, I having a problem with IAS and RRAS in a windows server 2003 std SP2 machine. I configured the RRAS to allow internet access to the network users and remote connection to the server. suddently the service stopped working. If i restart the server and try to open de RRAS i get the message "an error occourred while trying to make a connection to the datastore". Then i start the service and works again for few minutes before crashing one more time. i Tried to restore the MDB file with the commands below but i get an error that the IAS.MD_ and dnary.md_ can not be open. cd e:\i386 ren %windir%\system32\ias\dnary.mdb %windir%\system32\ias\dnaryOLD.mdb ren %windir%\system32\ias\IAS.MDB %windir%\system32\ias\IASOLD.MDB expand dnary.md_ %windir%\system32\ias\dnary.mdb expand IAS.MD_ %windir%\system32\ias\IAS.MDb what else can i try???Michael Reyes
