Looks like they fixed a 'minor' issue with Windows DNS.

How soon to see this in the Up2Date?

Astaro up2date V8.002 have only OpenVPN 2.1.1.
Why not OpenVPN 2.1.2 ?

I need the *** Added --register-dns option for Windows.

Doesn't setting "Register addresses in DNS" in the Properties -> TCP/IP -> Advanced -> DNS dialog of the SSL VPN adapter cut it for you or why do you need this option?

We have 150 Notebooks worldwide.
The User connect to SSL VPN and sometimes he can´t connect to our servers.
He can only ping the IP of the Host not the Hostname.
Now you must execute a " ipconfig /registerdns " and it works.

The OpenVPN Client V. 2.1.2 fix this problem (i hope so)
eFrom the Changelog: * Added --register-dns option for Windows.

Yes, that was a long standing bug, but I've found the reason for it lately and it should be fixed in the upcoming ASG V7.508 and ASG V8.002. "Should" be fixed because it's not a solution that will work in 100% of the setups, but I expect at least 97%. In combination I've done a total number of ~20.000 successful connects with XP, Vista and 7 during testing. I'll work out a final solution with the openvpn guys later. If you still run into problems let me know.

Issuing "ipconfig /registerdns" had the side effect of renewing the lease on the SSL VPN adapter which successfully set the DNS server in the Windows resolver. So, a "ipconfig /renew" would have done it as well.
