Remove RRAS from a Server

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

If you need to reconfigure your server for a different role, you can remove existing server roles. When you remove the remote access VPN server role, your server will no longer provide dial-up or VPN access for remote access clients. Remote users will not be able to connect to your private network, and the computers on your private network might not be able to connect to the Internet.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

To remove the remote access VPN server role

  1. In Server Manager, under Roles Summary, click Remove roles.

  2. In the Remove Roles Wizard, advance to the Remove Server Roles page.

  3. Clear Network Policy and Access Services, and then click Next.

  4. On the Confirm Removal Selections page, click Remove, and then click Close.

  5. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes to restart your computer.
