Running server 2008 I connected via remote desktop and added the remote access role. After I configured it and pressed go, it said 'please wait' and then remote desktop disconnected. I'm not able to reconnect. When I try to VPN I get an error saying the policy isn't correct for the method I'm trying to use to VPN.
Any ideas what might have caused this? I now have to find a way to get back onto my remote server, and somehow undo whatever broke it.
Edit: Logged into our hosting account, apparently it won't ping either.
I can request a KVM session to fix it but I honestly don't know where to begin, so ideas on how I might undo it once I connect would be useful

any error code? – BlueBerry - Vignesh4303 – 2013-08-20T11:11:06.610
It simply won't connect. It won't ping, but VPN does produce the error about policy so it's still somehow listening. – NibblyPig – 2013-08-20T11:13:36.870
1Get into the KVM session. Check the Network Policy and Access Services role, specifically the Routing and RAS role service. I don't remember exactly what it is, but I remember not paying enough attention when setting up VPN and having a network interface misconfigured through there. You should always be able to disable the Routing and RAS service role to regain network connectivity. – Der Hochstapler – 2013-08-20T12:10:32.313
Thanks, just waiting on them to enable the KVM session, I will try that. – NibblyPig – 2013-08-20T12:12:31.603
