Error 711 Remote access Connection Manager

[f1y]

Cannot load the Remote Access Connection Manager service.

Error 711: The operation could not finish because it could not start the Remote Access Connection Manager Service in time. Please try the operation again.

is the error I get when trying to connect to a VPN setup through windows 7.

Also Sonicwall SSL-VPN Netextender has roughly the same error present.

Netextender failed to start because one of required windows services - Remote Access Connection Mangager (RasMan) service - was not running.

I try and start the service and it nets me:

Windows could not start the Remote Access Auto Connection Manager service on Local Computer

Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Now here is where a rabbit hole of google search results start. I seperate out my services by startup type and see what automatic services are disabled.

The following are autmatic, and not started:
Routing and Remote Access
Task Scheduler
Windows Event Log
NTRU TSS v1.2.1.29 TCS
Windows Image Acquisition

Also, the secure socket Tunneling protocol service is off. Telephony is on.

A lot of of the services that are off net me the Error 1068. I can't seem to shake this problem.

I ran a sfc /scannow, chkdsk. PC Reimage (it's a tool that basically does a windows repair) and the error is still present.

Deleting the VPN and re-setting it up is a no-go.

The same thing happened on the same PC a couple months ago and a re-install was the eventual solution.

Has anyone ran into this VPN issue?

Got IT!

4 hours later. Not sure why, but I have a couple automation scripts, and getting the event log up and going fixed it.

I backuped up registry hive, and pasted the below information into notepad and saved it as "service.reg" and ran it.

On reboot, everything worked fine.
