Tested on Win11 22H4 ("brand new install") which does not bring a wmic.exe
binary - with 2.6.14 out of the box, setting the DNS domain for the
interface does no longer work with DCO, and a wmic error is logged in
the event log (see issue #842). With this patch applied, setting the
domain works again. Heiko also tested this with iservice and privileged
openvpn.exe calls.
DHCP on TAP is never affected, because in that case everything is sent
to windows "using DHCP", but of course we need DCO to function.
Under normal conditions we'd not change something like this at the end
of a release lifespan (2.6.14 -> 2.6.15, with 2.7.0 very close) - but
we'll see usage of 2.6.x versions for a long time, and with Microsoft
breaking functionality behind our backs, what shall we do...
This change affects windows only.
Your patch has been applied to the release/2.6 branch.
