Before rebooting a server, you should see who has open files so you won’t corrupt data or knock a user offline.
Server 2008 has moved where you can view these.
To see the open files, right click on computer. Select Manage. Click Roles – File Services – Share and storage management. Choose Action and then manage open files.
Go to a Command prompt, type the following commands Enter after each one.
Netcfg -u MS_L2TP
Netcfg -u MS_PPTP
Netcfg -l %windir%\inf\netrast.inf -c p -i MS_PPTP
Netcfg -l %windir%\inf\netrast.inf -c p -i MS_L2TP

Another possible solution-
Under the properties of the VPN connection – go to the security tab and change the protocol to CHAP from MS-Chap v2. Set no encryption Allowed in order to change that to Chap.
We have also seen the IKE service stopped under services…restart the service.
or
Set the protocol to PPTP and have both MS-Chaps checked
