Is it possible to kill a RAS connection which won't disconnect

  • 772

I have a Windows 2003 Server which has a number or RAS Connections to some of our customers. Occasionally the connections go into a mode where there are connected, but not working. Disconnecting and reconnecting solves the problem. However sometimes you can not disconnect as I get the following error message

It is not possible to disconnect at this time. The connection is currently busy with a connect or disconnect operation.

There are no visible connection dialog boxes when this message occurs and I usually end up having to restart the server which obviously affects all the other users.

I know that if you have a service that is stuck 'stopping' you can just kill it. Is there anything similar that you can do to reset a ras connection?

  1. Stopping and restarting the "Routing and Remote Access" service will yield the same net affect as restarting the entire server without its broader impact.
