Openvpn connect Command line

Question

I have been working on a script that uses OpenVPN v3's command line to try and import a profile.

But I have hit an issue I can't seem to resolve on my own. When I run the script standalone it works, but I need this to be run via intune and company portal.

When the script runs via company portal the logs say that the import was successful, but the OpenVPN connect app sees nothing. My guess is that the company portal has a hidden user that runs the script, so that's where the OpenVPN connect profile is going.

The script is

param (
    [string]$OvpnProfilePath,
    [string]$DisplayName
)

# Specify the path to the OpenVPN Connect executable
$openVpnConnectExecutable = "$Env:Programfiles\OpenVPN Connect\OpenVPNConnect.exe"

# Specify the path to your OpenVPN profile file (.ovpn or .opvn)
$scriptRoot = $PSScriptRoot
$OvpnProfilePath = Join-Path -Path $scriptRoot -ChildPath "$OvpnProfilePath.ovpn"

# Specify the path to the log file for OpenVPN Connect
$openVpnLogFilePath = Join-Path -Path C:\temp -ChildPath "OpenVpnConnectLog.txt"

# Logging
$logFilePath = Join-Path -Path C:\temp -ChildPath "IntuneScriptLog.txt"
Start-Transcript -Path $logFilePath -Append

try {
    Write-Host "Executing script from: $scriptRoot"

    # Set the working directory to the script directory
    Set-Location -Path $scriptRoot

    # Check if OpenVPN Connect executable exists
    if (-not (Test-Path $openVpnConnectExecutable -PathType Leaf)) {
        Write-Host "Error: OpenVPN Connect executable not found at $openVpnConnectExecutable"
        exit 1
    }

    # Check if the OpenVPN profile file exists
    if (-not (Test-Path $OvpnProfilePath -PathType Leaf)) {
        Write-Host "Error: OpenVPN profile file not found at $OvpnProfilePath"
        exit 1
    }

    # Check if OpenVPN Connect is already running
    $openVpnProcess = Get-Process -Name "openvpnconnect" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    if ($openVpnProcess -ne $null) {
        Write-Host "OpenVPN Connect is running. Closing OpenVPN Connect..."
        Stop-Process -Name "openvpnconnect" -Force
        Start-Sleep -Seconds 5  # Allow time for the process to close
    }

    # Start OpenVPN Connect and import the profile, redirecting both output streams to the same log file
    $processStartInfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
    $processStartInfo.FileName = $openVpnConnectExecutable
    $processStartInfo.Arguments = "--import-profile=$OvpnProfilePath --name=$DisplayName"
    $processStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
    $processStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = $true
    $processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = $false
    $processStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = $true

    $process = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($processStartInfo)
    $output = $process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
    $errorOutput = $process.StandardError.ReadToEnd()
    $process.WaitForExit()

    # Log the output to the OpenVpnConnectLog.txt file
    $output + $errorOutput | Out-File -FilePath $openVpnLogFilePath -Encoding UTF8

    # Check if the import was successful
    if ($process.ExitCode -eq 0) {
        # Create success indicator file
        $successFilePath = Join-Path -Path C:\temp -ChildPath "OpenVpn-SuccessIndicator.txt"
        New-Item -ItemType File -Path $successFilePath -Force | Out-Null
        Write-Host "OpenVPN profile imported successfully. Display Name: $DisplayName"
    } else {
        Write-Host "Failed to import OpenVPN profile. Display Name: $DisplayName"
    }

    # Start OpenVPN Connect
    Start-Process -FilePath $openVpnConnectExecutable
    Write-Host "OpenVPN Connect has been launched."

} catch {
    Write-Host "Error: $_"
} finally {
    # Logging
    Stop-Transcript
}

I have tried everything I know.

The logs say that the import is a success but nothing is showed up in the program.
