Windows 2008 R2 VPN not authenticating any users


i've created own lab setup step step guide windows 2008 r2 nap , vpn.

in neither case authentication work vpn client (windows 7)

topology:

dc1 (domain controller, dns server, gpos)

- nap gpo

- shv gpo

- eap enforcement gpo

nps1 (network policy server, radius server)

- nap configured per step step guide

vpn1 (rras server, radius client)

- vpn1 configured per step step guide.

client1 (vpn client windows 7)

- connected local server using username/password/domain (using local server name)

- connected vpn server using domain credentials 

vpn1 , client 1 on fake internet segment.

no matter can not server authenticate me , establish vpn tunnel.

i keep getting "re-enter user name , password" message. have confirmed username , password correct. i've changed username/password still nothing.

possible causes:
1 of prime causes above error  is: when *only* allowed authentication protocol configured on vpn server (or radius server) ms-chap , vpn client vista or above os platform (like windows7). note: due security reasons ms-chap removed vista , above os platform , hence connection fails.

error 812 comes when authentication protocol set via nps (network policy , access services).

possible solution:
1. configure more secured authentication protocol ms-chapv2 or eap based authentication on server – matches settings on client side.
2. re-import nps policies , stop/start nps.
3. add domain name such domain\username.
