Windows 7 64bit - Checkpoint SecuRemote/SecureClient R60 Replacement!?

[Spooter]

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help.

I currently supported a number of Windows XP machines which we use Check Point VPN-1 SecuRemote/SecureClient R60 HFA2. This works perfectly well but I have just started deploying Windows 7 64bit to a few new machines and this client isn’t supported on there. I searched the Checkpoint site and found Check Point Endpoint Connect R73.

Will this be compatible with R65 Firewalls and is it the replacement for VPN-1 SecureClient?

How do I configure the package with the userc.C file?

I installed the latest Smartconsole and tried using the cpmsi_tool.exe to extract the files but it doesn’t work.

All I want is a client that works on Windows 7 64bit. Am I going in the right direction please help?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, it turns out there is another non costly solution to replace secure client.

Check Point currently have the following solutions available for Windows 7 64 bit

Endpoint Connect – This is currently the ONLY solution available today for Windows 7 64 bit and will require the customer to purchase Secure Access licenses in order to operate.

Discovery Client –Discovery is a thin VPN client combined with basic endpoint security capabilities such as desktop policy and compliance verification check being managed by the Smart Dashboard console. It will offer a continuity path for SecureClient customers that would like to keep their current solution architecture. This client is in the Early Availability stages and does not yet have a release date.

So in summary the only way for the customer to move forward TODAY is to purchase a number of “Secure Access” licenses and install the Endpoint Connect R73 client.
Failing this the customer will need to wait for the release of the new Discovery client.
