I?ve got a problem which has got me stumped. I?m trying to configure RRAS on a W2K server, and I keep getting a message saying that I don?t have ?permission to access this component? from within the RRAS management console. I?m logged in with the administrator account, the console lists the correct server, I can start,/stop/disable the service, but the ?Configure and Enable Routing and Remote Access? option is grayed out. I?ve been searching through the MS technet and KB site, but can?t findanything that mentions this particular situation.
System / network info:
New install of W2K SP2 Server, dual-homed (2-NICs), one external v.90 serial modem, running AD, domain controller.
It doesn?t appear to be a hardware issue, since I can dial-in/out via the modem, I can access both the LAN and the WAN via their respective NICs. I can administer every facet of the domain and the server with the same administrator account ? except for the damn RRAS?.First time it told me I didn?t have ?permission to view this object? in the RRAS management console, I assumed that the account had somehow become buggered, but everything seemed to be in order when I checked it. I then created a new administrator account and tried with that one ? same message, same problem. Nothing shows up in the event logs, other than information alerts that the RRAS service was started/stopped/accessed etc. by such-and-such user (me).
I?ve never come across this problem before, the MS searches are returning all sorts of weird and wonderful and totally irrelevant results, and I?m about to resort to the old ?kick it to fix it? solution. Any advice and/or suggestions would be welcome at this point.
