Issues with OpenVPN on Server2008

stewie

Hello All, I am not sure if I am in the right board or not. If I am not I apologize and could someone point me in the right direction.

I am trying to setup OpenVPN on a server. I am using 2.3.10 only because I am using the following guide:
http://blog.bobbyallen.me/2016/02/07/setting-up-openvpn-server-on-windows-2012-r2/

I have also been following this as well:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Easy_Windows_Guide

I go through the setup and verify that I have completed all the steps exactly, however when I try to run OpenVPN on the server itself It fails and here is what the log says:

Wed Mar 22 09:57:26 2017 OpenVPN 2.3.10 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [PKCS11] [IPv6] built on Jan 4 2016

Wed Mar 22 09:57:26 2017 Need hold release from management interface, waiting...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

After I restart the service and try again It still fails but here is what the log says this time:
