vpnwindows 7
After I set up a VPN connection, there is an error:
Connection failed with 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.
Then I go to check the Network Connections, I see the created VPN icon with the following description:
Unavailable – device missing
Although it is not listed as a dependency, the reason SSTP isn't working is caused by Event Viewer not running, usually because of a problem with one or more of the event logs. Deleting the files in \RtBackup permits the Event Viewer to run, which allows SSTP to start, but when you reboot the issue recurs, as \RtBackup is recreated.
If after removing the \RtBackup files you clear the various logs from the Event Viewer (after saving a back up, of course), this will remedy the issue preventing the Event Viewer from loading. This should permanently fix the issue with SSTP not starting.
They should be listed on the "Dependencies" tab in the properties of the service:
Even though it's for XP, perhaps check out this MS Article: "Error 1068" Error Message When You Try to Turn On Internet Connection Sharing.
Also perhaps ensure any 3rd party anti-malware/firewall are disabled/uninstalled and see if that helps any.
