SYMPTOMS
A custom Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) policy for Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) connections (a pre-shared key for L2TP) cannot be configured remotely from a Windows 2000-based computer.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur because this type of policy configuration is a new feature in Windows Server 2003. Therefore, this type of policy configuration cannot be remotely set from a Windows 2000-based computer by means of either the remote access service Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in or the Netsh.exe tool.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use Terminal Services to connect to the remote access service server.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
