VPN with 1 NIC Behind a NAT Router: Lots of errors! (Event ID 20171)
Hello,
I've set up a VPN on my Server 2008 machine that's behind a NAT router with 1 NIC. I can connect to the VPN (although I'm not entirely convinced I set everything up perfectly), however I get hundreds of these errors every time the RRAS service starts
(or the machine reboots):
-----------
Log Name: System

Event ID: 20171
Task Category: None
Level: Warning
Keywords: Classic

Description:
Failed to apply IP Security on port VPN2-96 because of error: A certificate could not be found. Connections that use the L2TP protocol over IPSec require the installation of a machine certificate, also known as a computer certificate.. No calls
will be accepted to this port.

Any help would be great! I'm pretty new at this - so take it a bit easy on me :-)
Thanks,
- Brian
