Routing and Remote Access Services. The service or dependency group failed to start

Hi All,

I have an issue where when open the Network and Sharing Center, I get a message saying "Connection Status Unknown, The dependency service or group failed to start."

I have tried a reboot and I have tried starting the dependant services but I get the same message, or I get "Access Denied" on some.
When I go to the Routing and Remote Access window in Administrative Tools I see that the server has a red down facing arrow, and when I try to start the service here I get the same message of dependencies failed to start with error code (8007042c).
I have VPN client that connot log in and I am certain that this is the root of my issues.
 Please help!?

Do you have multiple Network adapters installed on the SBS? You cannot have two if that is the case. If so you need to disable one. Regardless, have you tried running the "fix my network" wizard under SBS console | network | connectivity | right hand menu.
