Dial-in tab in Active Directory users and Computers not working

Hi there,

In "Active Directory users and Computers", after
selecting any user, when I click on the "dial-up" tab I
get this message:

[Dial-in Page error]
--------------------
Could not load the Dial-in profile for this user because:
The network path was not found.
..
--------------------

After clicking OK the tab displays "Dial-in page
initialization failed". All the other tabs are fine
including the ones that don't come naturally such as
Exchange.

It used to work. Remote access actually works for users
that had dial-in enabled earlier, the issue is that I
can't grant dial-in permissions to newly created users
because the dial-in tab is broken (or can't revoke dial-
in rights from existing users).

Nothing in the event log; restarted the service;
restarted the server; tried to log in as a domain admin
user other than administrator. No change.
I also tried to disable and re-install and configure the
routing and remote access, no luck. I also tried to
install Active Directory users and Computers on an XP
workstation, then the dial-in tab is not even there.

No way to correlate the problem with an external event as
I have not used the dial-in tab for a while :-(

Nothing specific in the Knowledge Base on this error

Have you checked the event log for RAS related messages.

Have you made changes to the RAS config or changed devices?

and of course the old standby
Have you rebooted the server?
