Setting up a VPN Server on Windows Server 2022
The first step in setting up a VPN server on Windows Server 2022 is to open the Remote Access Management console. From here, you can add a new VPN server by clicking on the "Add VPN Server" button. You will be prompted to enter a name for the VPN server, as well as other details such as the type of VPN connection and the network adapter to use.
# Open the Remote Access Management console
remoteaccess management
# Add a new VPN server
add-vpnserver -name "VPN Server" -type RemoteAccess -vpnconnectiontype Routing -networkadapter "Ethernet Adapter"
Configuring the VPN Server
Once the VPN server has been added, you will need to configure it. This can be done by opening the Properties window for the VPN server and configuring the settings as desired. For example, you can specify the IP address range for VPN clients, as well as the authentication method to use.
# Open the Properties window for the VPN server
get-vpnserver | select -exp properties
# Configure the settings for the VPN server
set-vpnserver -ipaddressrange "10.0.0.1-10.0.0.254" -authenticationmethod "Eap-MsChapV2"
Connecting a Windows 11 Client
Once the VPN server has been set up and configured, you can proceed to connect a Windows 11 client. This can be done by opening the Network and Internet settings on the client, and then clicking on the "VPN" option. From here, you can click on the "Add a VPN connection" button and enter the details for the VPN server.
# Open the Network and Internet settings on the client
start ms-settings:network-vpn
# Add a VPN connection
add-vpnconnection -name "VPN Connection" -servername "vpn.example.com" -tunneltype "PointToPoint" -authenticationmethod "Eap-MsChapV2"
Troubleshooting Connection Issues
If you are unable to connect a Windows 11 client to the VPN server, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take. First, make sure that the VPN server is running and configured correctly. You can check the status of the VPN server by using the "Get-VpnServer" PowerShell command.
# Check the status of the VPN server
get-vpnserver
If the VPN server is running, but you are still unable to connect, you may want to check the event viewer for any error messages. In this case, the OP is encountering error 789, which can be caused by a variety of issues such as incorrect credentials or a misconfigured VPN server.
