Hi
I need to sync to a remote server using different credentials than currently logged on. In the profile I have set up the Network Settings with the correct credentials and the profile runs fine after the VPN Connection is made. We now need to automate this process and I have created a VPN Connection and Disconnection Batch Files, using RASDIAL. Again run manually all is fine. So, I enabled these scripts as start and end scripts in the profile but discovered via the log file that ViceVersa checks the Network Connection prior to running the script. Clearly this process fails as the connection script has not run before the Network Connection is tested. I have a "Messy" workaround where I use VVEngine to start a dummy profile to sync between two local empty folders that I use the start script to establish the VPN, then if that profile returns without error then the main sync profile is run using the run end script to drop the VPN. It would be helpful if a script could be run at very start of the Profile Started as unless the connection is available then the Profile would not need to run.

Regards

Hello,

it's strange because manual and auto scripts are run at the same time... could you post the relevant part of the log please, thanks

Thanks for the response. What I mean by manual is to run the batch files from the console, outside of ViceVersa. However here is part of the log file:

Thanks, is there a beta we can try, and the inevitable question, when can we expect a release?
