OK this is available in 2.9.1 of the windows server. Its identical to the linux version but uses batch files instead. So instead of $1 etc its %1 and use EXIT 1 etc to return a value back to the server

I meant the script in #2 above, anyway you have to write it as a batch file, not as a bash file. The example is a bash file for linux based servers. You need to convert it to a windows batch file.
Does client authentication work on Windows installations when vhusbdwin64.exe is run as a service? With our current configuration, client authentication works fine when run by a logged in user, but does not work when run as a service (vhusbdwin64.exe -b).
Yes it works fine, whats it doing for you? Just jamming or ? Note: have a look in Event Viewer->Application And Services Logs -> VirtualHere USB Server and under the Details tab it will say the message. Look for an error message in the list of messages
Michael, thanks for your reply. The issue has been resolved, we had to include the path to our auth.bat and log files when running as a service. This wasn't required while running the server inside of a user session because everything is in the same folder. We're using active directory security groups to manage access; so far so good, thanks again!

Michael, do you have an example code for Windows server based on the Linux version below?

.
Firstly, did you get the example above to work ok?
No, it did not work.
No, it did not work.
Here's the auth.bat script:

The $ signs have been replaced with %, but it does not work. The config.ini file has been modified as the example above.

I did not see an example for Windows server. Can you provide an example batch script for Windows doing the same thing as the Linux bash script?
.
You are not reading my postings, can you do number #2 above. Repeated here again:
Eg. the auth.bat file which dumps the arguments to a file and always returns unauthorized
An out.txt file is created
An out.txt file is created with all of the arguments.

OK so you just compare the values you need to and return
1
if the user is allowed to use the device and0
