RRAS - No new router interfaces are available for addition
After configuring RRAS as a NAT with two network adapters in a test environment I moved the server to the LAN and 'lost' the network adapters. They showed them as new hardware with no changes to the server.
The two network adapters are re-configured and working except no interfaces are available to form the NAT. I removed and reinstalled the Role, but it didn't help. In the registry I can see:
HKLM/Sytem/CurrentControlSet/Control/Network
The Original Installation of the adapters:
Name: Internet, DefaultNameIndex: 0 | Name: Local Area Connection Named DefaultNameIndex: 2
The New Installation of the adapters:
Name: LAN-Private, DefaultNameIndex: 3 | Name: Internet-Public, DefaultNameIndex: 2
How do I fix this? What do you think happened?

refer to the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/Default.aspx?kbid=241257 and remove the ghost device from Device Management Console. Re-start or re-install RRAS service, and see if the problem can be resolved.

Brilliant. A solution right before me, but in no way obvious. Thank You James!T.L.Cary

btw, why is it not possible to add any new adater in to RRAS without actual ( reset of rras services )?
is there any way to add addapter ?
the problem is that after reset the RRAS it is doesn`t want to accept any VPN domain users on RRAS.
