Assigning static IP on windows

Greyhead87

I'm running OpenVPN on Windows Server 2012 successfully but am struggling to assign static IPs to particular clients. I'm currently running default subnet of 10.8.0.0/24, and working fine using dhcp.

I have created a folder called 'ccd' in C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN, and the sample client OVPN file is added to it (router20.ovpn). The server config includes lines:
client-config-dir "C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\ccd"
route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

and I have edited the client OVPN file (router20.ovpn) to include:
ifconfig-push 10.8.0.120 10.8.0.1

however when I connect client 'router20' I don't get a static IP address assigned. What am I doing wrong here?

The ccd file must be named 'router20'

thanks - I sussed it out. It works if there there is no file extension on the file.
