The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Connection Manager VPN profile corrupted - all remote workers at same time.

Asked by devon-lad in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Windows XP Operating System, SBS Small Business Server

Tags: , ,

SBS2003 server at main office
6 x WinXP remote clients using PPTP VPN to connect to RRAS on the server.

This morning I've had calls from all of the remote workers complaining they cannot connect to the VPN.  Having checked their PCs I find that I can telnet to port 1723 on all their machines - but I cannot establish a connection using the Connection Manager profile.

The only way to resolve the issue was to delete the profile and reinstall.

All working ok now.

But what would have caused this in the first place?  I checked all their PCs for recent updates - none of them have any that were installed within the last week.  They've been using the same setup for around 2 years now without issue.

Any ideas?
