VPN Connections drop and cannot reconnect until restart of Windows Server 2008
I have 3 servers in different branches who connect to eachother with VPN PPTP.
Server A: Windows 2003 (DC)
Server B: Windows 2008
Server C: Windows 2008
Server A and B connect both ways without a problem.
Server C connects to A and B with no problems until a connection gets dropped for some unknown reason. After there has been a connection drop I can't make another VPN-connection. The status reads 'Connecting'. I have to restart the server to be able to make
a connection again.
This happens almost every day, sometimes it lasts 2 days.
The Eventlog shows no reason why the connection dropped.

Hi Scubago,
Thanks for posting here.
How do you configure the site to site VPN connection?
Do you manually configured RRAS to be a VPN server?
You might like to diagnosing this issue via enabling and verifying the RAS log:
