I am getting event number 20152 in the system event log. The message
associated says "The currently configured authentication provider failed to
load and initialise successfully. The system cannot find the path
specified."
My question is "what path?", "Specified where?". It is obvious that
the "Routing and Remote Access" service is not starting, but I can't see
where the appropriate "route" is specified.
 
The system cannot find the path specified

This wording usually means someone deleted a folder or file. It is the wording for Error # 3. Error #2 is "The system cannot find the file specified" so it cannot find a folder, possibly with the file it wants. It is possibly an exe or dll. This is not a network message as in Routes (though it may be looking for a folder on a network drive).

Only one other has ever reported your exact error (that's not to say that others havn't had it, they maybe didn't specify the path part of the error) and he didn't resolve it, at least in public. Anyway email him and ask him, he uses his real email address. http://groups.google.com.au/groups?...num=100&hl=en&lr=lang_en&safe=off&sa=N&tab=wg

Get filemon from www.sysinternals.com (this is the third time I've said this today compared to a daily average of 0.00001%) and see what path it wants. Use svchost as a filter (I suppose RRAS is in a service host - but I don't know that) - look on Edit menu - Filter and then sort on results and look for the not founds.
 
Sorry, but I cant see that this link can help.....I don't have a
"Routing and remote access" in MMC, and I have already tried Q840686.
 
Tried the filemon program and can't see anything there that is different
to that on another machine that works. The only apparent missing item is
"system.mdb" , but that does not exist on a working achine either.
