OpenVPN client deployment via SCCM

Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone had managed to deploy the openvpn client via sccm? I current have a pfsense firewall running version 2.4.5 release p1 and OpenVPN version 1.4.23_1

I'm struggling to figure out how to package the client up and deploy it via SCCM along with the .opvn, cert and tls key.

Any advice would be much apprecaited! Cheers guys, have a great day!

Also that's on OpenVPNs roadmap:

We are moving to MSI installers in OpenVPN 2.5, but OpenVPN 2.4.x will remain NSIS-only.

Also I'd handle rollout of OpenVPN client on clients separate from client configuration, at it's easier to automate the client config and so no one needs nested-exe-installations to install the client and config afterwards. Client config IMHO can be automated pretty good and you can more easily roll out newer versions/updates of OVPN client that way, too.
