When your network’s design changes, you may have to your routing configuration in order to satisfy your design needs. This design can lead to changes related to routing protocols, routing methods, or routing interfaces. This means you can replace a routing protocol by another, adding or removing specific routes, adding or removing network interfaces to the routing process.

Windows Server 2003 allows you to perform all of these actions using the DHCP Microsoft Management Console (MMC). For example, you can remove a routing interface from the Routing and Remote Access service by performing the following actions:

Step 1: Open Routing and Remote Access MMC (Microsoft Management Console).

Step 2: In the tree structure of the console, click on Routing and Remote Access

Step 3: Click on the name of your Server.

Step 4: Click on Network Interfaces.

Step 4: Click with the right button of your mouse on the interface that you want to remove, and then click on Delete in the details area.

Take into account that you should be a member of the Administrators group in order to execute the following procedure. It is suggested to right-click the Routing and Remote Access icon and then click on Run As option rather than to open a Windows session using the credentials of a member of the Administrators group.

If you opened a session with identification information of a member of the Administrators security group, you can also open the Routing and Remote Access MMC (Microsoft Management Console) by double-clicking on Routing and distant access located in the Administrative Tools folder, which you can it by clicking on Start and then click on Control panel.
