moored99 wroteI managed to final resolve what was going on after getting clues from another post.
Server 2008 was assigning the OpenVPN TAP Adapter v9 as an Unidentified network which the default Local Security Policy of Server 2008 assigns as being a Public Interface with restricted access.
The trick is to go into the Local Security Policy as assign Unidentified networks as Private.
Procedure used
Go into Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Local Security Policy / Network List Manager Policies / Unidentified Networks.
Set Location Type to Private.
Regards.
Thanks for that trick. I'll have to remember that.
