The HDD of the server was out of disk space, and after a reboot, RRAS won't start anymore on my 2008 R2 server.

Error Details:

I think it has something to do with a corrupt config file, but I am unsure of what to do. I Removed the RRAS role, rebooted, and re-added, but it keeps failing with the same error.

Thanks in advance.

[UPDATE]

If i set the accounting provider from 'Windows' to '' the service starts but VPN won't work. Any ideas how this can be repaired?
