NPS agent completing installation

After the NPS Agent is installed (through the console, or manually), its status in the Agent Distribution view will be "Installing". To make it effective:

  • Stop the "Routing and Remote Access" (RemoteAccess) service. Note: will close all VPN connections.
  • Stop the "Network Policy Server" (IAS) service.
  • Start the "Routing and Remote Access" (RemoteAccess) service.
  • Start the "Network Policy Server" (IAS) service.

Here are PowerShell commands to do that:
# Stop the "Routing and Remote Access" (RemoteAccess) service:
Stop-Service RemoteAccess
# Note: will close all VPN connections.
# Stop the "Network Policy Server" (IAS) service:
Stop-Service IAS
# Start the "Routing and Remote Access" (RemoteAccess) service:
Start-Service RemoteAccess
# Start the "Network Policy Server" (IAS) service:
Start-Service IAS

Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 only: this procedure will not work, you will have to restart the server.

If you uninstalled the Agent (through the console, or manually), apply the same procedure.
