OpenVPN client fails on Windows 2003 SBS with error "FlushIpNetTable failed on interface".

I am sure this is related to the fact that openvpn.exe has administrator running as a restricted user when you go to "run as".

OpenVPN is started from the client.ovpn file rather that the .exe so there is no "run as" for this file.

Where can I change this so the administrator can run the openvpn.exe with full admin rights rather than restricted rights?

you mention SBS and they come in a couple of flavors. Which flavor? Standard or Premium?

If premium, is ISA Server installed.

Next is single or dual NIC configuration? Third, did anyone ever run the remote access wizard? If so, then RRAS controls all remote access traffic through the RRAS miniports on the external interface. Unless you circumvent the firewall and RRAS , access via VPN will be denied unless the remote access use meets RRAS requirements. RRAS is controlled by Active Directory and therefore users must be granted remote access rights. Users will have to authenticate to the domain AND meet remote access security requirements.

I am having the same issues as the original thread. I am trying to use the client side of Open VPN to connect my SBS 2003 to a XP Pro box for remote back ups. I am also getting the error of "FlushIpNetTable failed on interface" The server does get it's dynamic IP address. Then when you attempt to ping the XP box, you recieve a TTL expired message. Does anyone have an idea?
