Global Protect – Windows

There are various client checks (the system you are using to connect to VPN) that occur as follows:

Anti-malware is installed and real time protection is enabled.
All critical patches are installed.
The remote system is part of a LRCCD active directory domain.
Symantec Endpoint Protection is running.

All checks happen regardless of whether the device is personal or a LRCCD device. If you are using a personal device, the first 2 checks are enforced. The last 2 are enforced for LRCCD managed devices. If any of the enforced checks fail, you will be unable to connect to file shares, your desktop, and various other LRCCD resources. The status of the checks can be found in the Global Protect client by going to Settings – Host Profile. The examples below shows the notifications received and the Host Profile showing anti-malware is installed and real-time protection enabled. This is for a personal device so VPN access was allowed as it only failed the LRCCD managed device checks.
