RE: CMAK elevated privs for Vista

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thank you for the response. However, the issue I am having is not updating
the routing table, that works fine and the file I added to CMAK was
configured as you suggested. The issue is on Vista when running the client,
there is an error that pops up telling me that the CMROUTE.DLL needs to be
run with elevated privileges. I donot want endusers having to deal with that
and this was not the case on XP. Is there a way to create a package with CMAK
that does not invoke this message? In other words, is it possible to somehow
address this programmatically?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

The cmroute.dll is used to update the client routing table on the client
computer according to the CMAK package. However, there is a compatibility
issue for implementing CMAK created in previous operation system in the
Windows Vista. From my research, you can modify the routing configuration
files as follows:

Original routing configuration file like:

ADD 192.168.2.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 default METRIC 1 IF default
ADD 192.168.3.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 default METRIC 1 IF default
ADD 192.168.4.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 default METRIC 1 IF default
ADD 10.3.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 default METRIC 1 IF default
ADD 10.5.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 default METRIC 1 IF default
REMOVE_GATEWAY

Modify the default METRIC from 1 to "default"

ADD 192.168.2.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 default METRIC default IF default
ADD 192.168.3.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 default METRIC default IF default
ADD 192.168.4.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 default METRIC default IF default
ADD 10.3.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 default METRIC default IF default
ADD 10.5.0.0 MASK 255.255.0.0 default METRIC default IF default
REMOVE_GATEWAY

Then save and check how it works.
