Perform manual auto-static updates

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To perform manual auto-static updates

Open Routing and Remote Access.
In the console tree, click General.

Where?
- Routing and Remote Access/server name/IP Routing/General
In the details pane, right-click the demand-dial interface you want to update, and then click Update Routes.

Notes

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group. As a security best practice, consider using the Run As command rather than logging on with administrative credentials. If you have logged on with administrative credentials, you can also open Routing and Remote Access by clicking Start, clicking Control Panel, double-clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Routing and Remote Access. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
When an auto-static update is performed, the existing auto-static routes for the interface are deleted before the update is requested from the other router. If there is no response to the request, then the router cannot replace the routes it has deleted. This may lead to a loss of connectivity to remote networks.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
