I’m trying to completely remove the Windows VPN server from my Windows Server, including all related services. I’ve already taken the following steps:
Disabled the “Routing and Remote Access” service
Removed the “Remote Access” feature using Server Manager
However, I’m still unable to share an internet connection on my network adapter. When I try to enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), I get the following error message:"Internet Connection Sharing cannot be enabled because routing and remote access has been enabled on this computer."I’m at a loss as to what else I need to do to fully remove the VPN server and its components. Has anyone encountered this issue before? What additional steps should I take to resolve this and successfully enable Internet Connection Sharing?Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!TeilenUmschreiben
To use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), you need: a computer with a working internet connection, at least two network adapters (one connected to the internet and one to share the connection), and a properly configured network with TCP/IP settings; essentially, the computer needs to be able to access the internet itself and then share that connection with other devices via a second network adapter, usually through a wired or wireless connection.
Thanks for your quick reply. the selection for “disable” is also grayed out for me, so I assume that it is already switched off. Do you think I can try deleting it?
deleting it doesn’t work either, it still remains. i assume that some service still needs to be terminated or deactivated. however, i can’t find anything.
I don’t know if you have a configuration listed there,if yes, delete it
And if that still not work look for the powershell commands to check and configure that service
