Setting up PPTP VPN on a New Multi-homed ISA Server

So I’m trying to setup a new ISA Server in my Small Business Network. It was originally setup on the Domain Controller using a Single Network Interface Card (NIC). I want to move it to a separate machine so that I can utilize a double NIC configuration (Multi-homed). I only have two servers available so here is how I plan on setting it up.

SERVER01 (SBS 2003 Premium): Domain Controller/Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Enterprise Root CA, Exchange Server 2003, IIS 6.0

SERVER02 (Server 2003 Standard): ISA Server 2006 Enterprise Edition, Kaspersky Administration Server, RRAS

The problem that I keep running into is that I cannot get my PPTP VPN to work on SERVER02 utilizing RRAS and ISA. Does anyone have any tips or tutorials that would be able to help me with this? Would this configuration of services be ideal for the machines that I have? Should I move any other services to SERVER02?

I guess you know your SBS2003 licenses which covered you for ISA 2000 or ISA 2004 on the DC are not valid for running any version of ISA on a separate server and the ISA 2006 product has to be bought again - per processor - from scratch?

Secondly, SBS Premium come supplied with a raft of configuration scripts that safely (and securely) allow ISA to integrate with other applications etc. When using a separate box, ISA should be the only application deployed to it.

Have you installed RRAS on the new box as a service yourself?

Some of these responses become so repetative I almost need to put them in text files and just cut & paste. :-)
