RAS Server Administration

Windows NT Server 4.0 provides a set of functions for administering user permissions and ports on Windows NT/Windows 2000 RAS servers. Windows 95 does not support these functions. Using these functions, you can develop a RAS server administration application to perform the following tasks:

  • Enumerate those users who have a specified set of RAS permissions
  • Assign or revoke RAS permissions for a specified user
  • Enumerate the configured ports on a RAS server
  • Get information and statistics about a specified port on a RAS server
  • Reset the statistics counters for a specified port
  • Disconnect a specified port

You can also install a RAS server administration DLL for auditing user connections and assigning IP addresses to dial-in users. The DLL exports a set of functions that the RAS server calls whenever a user tries to connect or disconnect.
