Connection Manager

[aquila125]

Hi!

We use the Connection Manager of Windows 2003 to create a package we can distribute to our employees to install a new VPN.
For XP Clients, this works nice, but Vista clients get this:

* First he asks the clients if they want cmroute.dll to run (annoying, but ok)
* Then after he connects, he fails to add the route and gives this error msg: Connect action to update your routing table

What are we doing wrong, or is Vista just not supported? This is our update table for the routing info:

ADD 192.168.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 default METRIC default IF default
REMOVE_GATEWAY


Thanks!

I don't know the answer, but have a look at this, there may be some compatibility problems?

You experience installation errors and compatibility problems when you install Windows Server 2003 management tools on a Windows Vista-based computer

Try your luck on the Server forum too.

Hmm.. I just had a typo in my file. So now it's working, but I get a message:

Connection Manager needs elevated privilege to run the following custom action(s) to proceed with the connection:
CMROUTE.DLL

If I click 'Continu' it works as expected.
Is there a way to disable this popup since it's quite annoying...

If you right-click on any .exe there is the option to "Run As Administrator" which is the Elevated Privilege, and is so even if the user is logged in as an Administrative user (by design they only have Standard User Privileges under Vista).

Is disabling Vista's User Account Control wise?
