unixwizard OpenVPN is working just fine - able to connect and ping things, directly dump to printers via their IP address. But Windows resources like the file share and printer share are not accessable. Things like SAMBA I can say 'Consider these address from the OpenVPN server as local resources' but convincing the MS machines to be as accepting just isn't happening for me, even with "the firewall turned off". Suggestions of how to make the MS gear work VS suggestions like placing the MS gear into ocean trenches are appreciated.

wRx7M I have followed those instructions and have been able to connect successfully. My problem is that despite using RADIUS or even LDAP authentication, I am still prompted to enter in domain\username for each server share. My goal is to connect to the VPN and not have to do this for every share. I also don't want to just login the first time and have it remember the credentials, as these can become corrupt or during password changes, become invalid and need to be reset within the credential manager on the client. This is a huge pain. Is there anyway to get the initial credentials used to login to openvpn (as domain - RADIUS or LDAP) to be used when accessing the \\server\share while the connection is present?
kevinneumann Did you ever discover a solution to this? We are hoping to migrate from a Windows PPTP VPN server (which supports the behavior by default) to an OpenVPN server. I really don't want to have to teach everyone how to use the Credential Manager for each connection they need to make.
