RRAS Inbound VPNs, cannot ping remote networks "No Resources"

i have standalone monitoring server running windows 2008 (w/sp2).  i have rras enabled far.

a bunch of remote routers vpn in using pptp.  behind these routers 1 or more subnets.

for example:

server name = monitor
server ip = 55.66.77.88
vpn ip = 10.1.1.1

router 1 wan ip = 99.88.77.66
router 1 lan ip =  192.168.40.1/24
router 1 vpn ip = 10.1.1.2
router 1 vpn username = monitor\router1 

router 2 wan ip = 100.99.88.77
router 2 lan ip = 192.168.100.1/24, 192.168.15.1/24
router 2 vpn ip = 10.1.1.3 
router 2 vpn username = monitor\router2 

if configure dial-in user account on server, wait until vpn connection established , manually configure routes, works fine.  i can ping devices on lan sides of both routers (192.168.40.xxx, 192.168.100.xxx, 192.168.15.xxx).  but requires manually adding static routes each time vpn connection re-established, need automate addition of these routes.

i opened computer management mmc, went system tools / local users , groups / users, , opened user account (eg. 'router1'). on dial-in tab, enable 'apply static routes' define remote networks in static routes window.

when remote router reconnects, routes added routing table (route print), if try ping them "no resources" error.

pathping , tracert return "no resources".

i can ping vpn ip (eg. 10.1.1.2), beyond returns "no resources".

 

any ideas?  i'm starting think it's bug.

 

  use router router vpn link. can link routes demand-dial interfaces. routes added routing table when vpn connects , dd interfaces become active.
