Hiya,
Is it possble to get openvpn to map network shares as soon as it connects pls.
I have home users and currently, I have a batch file that they need to click on after the connection is establish and I would like to automate all of this process.

If you use OpenVPN GUI on your clients, you can use the option to mount/dismount network maps automatically:
Features in OpenVPN GUI:
- Execute a batch file before/after connecting and before disconnecting.Just use connectionname_up.bat and connectionname_down.bat command scripts and they will run automatically at connect and disconnect.
Example connectionname_up.bat:
net use U: /DELETE /yes net use U: \\192.168.1.10\users
Example connectionname_down.bat:
net use U: /DELETE /yes
-
ok got it to work.
The most important thing is to have the latest version on openvpn installed on the client.
As then follow the instruction as per robi so create 2 bat files one connectionname_up and the other connectionname_down.Put these 2 files in the config directory of openvpn, where the certs and connectionnane.ovpn files are.
ust use connectionname_up.bat and connectionname_down.bat command scripts and they will run automatically at connect and disconnect.
Example connectionname_up.bat:
Code:net use U: /DELETE /yes
net use U: \192.168.1.10\usersExample connectionname_down.bat:
Code:net use U: /DELETE /yes
Et voila job done.
Thanks so much for your help robi and i hope this can be of some help for someone else also
Raj :-)
