Windows 7 Home Premium 32 Bit Versus 64 Bit

Post by dccsp92 » Mon Sep 23, 2013 3:01 pm

I am curious if anyone else has come across the same issue I am seeing. I run from the UP script an application I wrote that waits for ping responses to complete to a fileserver and then prompts the user for their username and password to map network drives after that. The script works fine on 64 bit versions of Windows 7 such that the drives are mapped successfully without a problem when being called from with in the vpn. The issue comes in on 32 Bit versions where the application says it completes successfully but the drives are never actually mapped BUT this only happens when the script is called from the openvpn client during the UP command. If I connect the vpn and then manually run the same script outside of the vpn UP script then the drives are mapped successfully. It seems like there is a privilege issue where the privileges on the 64 bit machine are higher during the UP script call than they are on the 32 Bit machine. Obviously I have no way to prove this but it is a hunch because of the fact that it works fine when run manually. Has anyone else seen such behavior?
