Uninstalling NPS does not remove RRAS service


let me explain scenario first.

i have windows 2008 r2 standard edition domain controller. installed nps server role , configured ras vpn. after installing this, lost access of server. (i doing via rdp, since server in remote location). also, there no ping server other machine (even local machines connected datacenter). restarted server, started getting ping, able connect server few minutes (5 mins approx) , again lost connection. there no ping again server.

i removed nps server role server , removal process completed successfully. but, still server not accessible. there few ping request during time when server comes after reboot again goes once server comes up. surprisingly, though nps role uninstalled, routing , remote access service still available in 'services.msc' console.

i stopped service, , again working. got remote access, able take rdp etc. remove rras service server. nps role has been removed. but, still exists. can done. have idea. please feel free ask me if need further information regarding setup.

thanks in advace.

hi tom,


firstly, should note not recommended install rras on domain controller, can bring issues.


related references:

multihomed dcs dns, rras, and/or pppoe adapters (published ace fekay)

active directory communication fails on multihomed domain controllers


meanwhile, nps , rras separate server roles, please refer remove rras server remove rras.


hope helps.
