it was 2012 R2, using AES256 and dropped the connection if 256 was not supported. I cranked the security settings way up. Job didnt want to pay for Cisco VPN licenses. Had to make use of what I could.

Stealing.
Lying.
No commitment, zero energy, just slothful.
No desire/drive to improve on weak areas.These for me are the big 4, I'm not really into the "He wasted $$$ fire him" because I've done it in business and regretted it, mistakes do happen but you do learn from him but point 4, if there is no desire to improve after the mistake, then that's when we have problems.
I have to agree with these. Stealing? No. Lying? You're gone. No energy? More tolerable but if they are constantly falling asleep on the job and therefore not getting stuff done? Gone. No desire to improve? That's the biggest one for me. I've been in a supervisory position. This was always my biggest thing. I'll gladly take the time to train you, help you improve, but if you are uninterested in trying to improve, you're a waste of my time and breath, and there's the door.

You don't need Cisco to get a secure VPN running. It's probably even better to not use Cisco VPN's, looking at the latest NSA news.
MS-PPTP has several problems, for example in the challenge-response mechanism, which allows an attacker to log in with a sniffed password hash. Moxie Marlinspike, you probably heard that name before, created a cloud based service to crack the 2^56 possible DES keys in just a day or two, which costs you around $200.
You can read about that here: http://www.h-online.com/security/features/A-death-blow-for-PPTP-1716768.html

OpenVPN is free
Plus Server 2012R2 has both SSTP and L2TP/IPSEC built in.

Its been a year and trying to block it out, but I think I did use L2TP/IPSEC....That would make sense...

Really like SSTP. Easy to setup, just uses a single TCP port to connect (443 by default). Performance can't be compared to IPsec via L2TP, but it's still ok.

hmmmmm. Can't remember....When you configured things like IKE, phase 1 and 2 and so on: IPsec
