PPTP Ports not available in RRAS

June 4th, 2012 No comments

Had a problem with a server which had frozen and needed to be restarted.  When the services all came back up RRAS was showing as available on L2TP, but not on PPTP.  Netstat didn’t show the port as being in use by anything.  Found a few posts that suggested it might be Black Berry Dispatcher, or Router, stopped these services, restarted RRAS, then restarted the Black Berry Services, still no go.  Some other posts make reference to Exchange System Attendant grabbing the ports using RPC which means it won’t show up in netstat.

Stopping the System Attendant and associated processes, restarting RRAS, then restarting System Attendant and associated processes resolved the issue.
