(the server is also a DC, file/print and exchange 2007 server for about 30 users)if we connect pptp then RDP to the RRAS server the session is fine, screen refreshes are normal.if we the try to RDP to the terminal server, or any of the xp/vista desktops, the session is painfully slow.the sessions work fine if you connect to the old RRAS server (windows 2003) and if you bring the machine in the office and hooked up to the wired network is fineso far i have disabled IPv6 , and applied the followingnetsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disablednetsh interface tcp set global rss=disablednetsh interface tcp set global chimney=disabledtonight i'll apply the following and rebootnetsh interface tcp set global autotuning=highlyrestrictedany ideas as to where i should be looking?ThanksPaul

Hello, Thank you for your post here. First of all, please be aware of that we don't recommend to have DC, RRAS and Exchange Server on a single server. Please refer to the following document for more information: This Exchange server is also a domain controller, which is not a recommended configuration http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997407(EXCHG.80).aspx Name resolution and connectivity issues on a Routing and Remote Access Server that also runs DNS or WINS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292822 As you have multiple roles on a single server, please make sure that you have tested the performance to make sure the server is capable of handling remote access and routing traffics. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.

I'm also curious if this articles applies to Server 2008. I'm experiencing the same issue, DC And RRAS server. RRAS only gets a few connections a week, super-low usage. Name resolution and connectivity issues on a Routing and Remote Access Server that also runs DNS or WINS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292822 Server 2008 is not listed in the "Applies to" section and I cant seem to find a similar article for Server 2008.
