Solution for ISA VPN hang after applying MS11-030

 

We had a lots of customers reporting that after installing MS11-030 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509553 ), RRAS from time to time started to hang.

Typical symptom was that VPN connections were no longer possible; the RRAS service could not even be restarted. Only solution was a full reboot.

The good news is that a fix is released for the underlying issue:

With this fix, the hang should no longer occur.
