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

To add a remote access server

Open Routing and Remote Access.
In the console tree, double-click Routing and Remote Access, right-click Server Status, and then click Add Server.
In the Add Server dialog box, do one of the following:
- To add the computer on which Routing and Remote Access is currently running, click This computer.
- To add a computer on another network, click The following computer, and then type the computer name or IP address of the server.
- To add a server from a particular domain, click All routing and remote access servers in the domain, type the domain containing the server you want to administer, and then click OK.
- To add a server, click Browse the Active Directory, and then click Next. In the Find Routers or Remote Access Servers dialog box, click the types of servers you want to search for, and then click OK.

Note

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.

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.
