re: The Smartcard Removal Policy Service and VPN

This sounds like you haven't set the ScRemoveOption registry key for the Smartcard Removal Policy service.

You need to set it to either (Lock/Logoff/Disconnect) if you want to use the service - see the link at the top of the page.

If the service starts up and finds that the registry key isn't set it stops again as it doesn't have anything to do in that case.
