We have a number of Surface laptops, all able to connect to our VPN tunnel without a problem. We recently purchased a Surface Book 3, and Netextender will not install properly. We get the following error:
We have tried various compatibility modes as well as "run as administrator" during install, as well as with the executable after install. We have reinstalled Windows 10 twice (Sonicwall solution), trying to resolve this issue. We have never encountered this problem before, and would like someone to tell us what the magic bullet is to fix it. It must be a registry key somewhere.
For the life of me I can't get the lastest NetExtender installed on our machines. I know there was an option to deploy using GP, but GP does not help when users are remote and need VPN access. We are using our RMM to deploy the softwared.
It works IF I install as local user when running the command as administrator (right click run as admin), but that installing using local user account. We can't prompt every for admin rights to install.
I cant seem to get my hands on a NetExtender version that Ubuntu 20.04 supports. I have access to RPMs which I have tried installing using "alien" to no help and I have downloaded "NetExtender.Linux-10.2.824 x86.tgz" which when I try to install it throws a error that it can not run on 64 bit versions of Ubuntu. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a 64bit version? I've tried looking everywhere.
I've installed NetExtender on a handful of laptops, and with each one, after I restart my users are greeted with a windows 10 logon screen that has their username in the lower left corner, "other user", and then the "NetExtender" icon.
For the last two laptops I've tried installing NetExtender on, the icon isn't showing up on the Windows Logon screen. Why would this be? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling NetExtender multiple times and verifying that all the settings are correct, and the network pre-login button is checked. I've also followed this page:
After you removed the registry entries, program folder, and services, did you reboot before trying to reinstall? If you clear it all out but don't reboot before trying to reload, it will put up a fight.
We use Netextender at one of my jobs and usually don't have an issue with uninstalling and reinstalling it. But I would try uninstalling it in safe mode and then reinstall it using normal boot mode and see if that works.
I am using a Windows 10 laptop. I had NetExtender 10.2.309 installed. I uninstalled version 10.2.309 from Settings - Apps. I tried to install 10.2.315 but it shows "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel." I checked Apps again and Sonicwall NetExtender is not there. I ran the NxCleaner.exe program (as an Administrator). It could not find anything so it used the default location. Still failed. How do I install NetExtender?
Does anybody have experience with this? My specific concern is that, at least in Windows 7 during testing, it prompts for admin credentials to install the ActiveX NetExtender plugin, which is standard for installing anything in a Windows domain environment. But doesn't this mean I actually have to go in and install the client on all domain laptops that will be using the VPN in the field? They wouldn't actually be able to simply visit the site and run the client, as advertised? By the way, we're using the SonicWALL NSA 3500 device.
NetExtender is neither thin nor browser-based. It cannot be deployed without administrator privileges and it cannot be deployed via GPO, because it requires installation of an unsigned network driver:
To initially install the NetExtender client, the user must be logged in to the PC with administrative privileges. Downloading and running scripted ActiveX files must be enabled on Internet Explorer. It is recommended that you add the URL or domain name of your SSL-VPN server to Internet Explorer's trusted sites list. This will simplify the process of installing NetExtender and logging in, by reducing the number of security warnings you will receive.
I need to push out netextender to all users. I originally was given a 7.5.216 version which i got working (no thanks to sonicwall support) by extracting the certificate and pushing that first followed by the msi.
The latter package requires that /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf. However, when netextender connects to my VPN, it will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf and replace it with a standalone file. After disconnecting from the VPN, sometimes a static version of /etc/resolv.conf remains, and systemd-resolved doesn't work to resolve .local mDNS addresses. (Typically, I've just tested now, and the symlink was restored, but it contained the additional nameservers and search domains for my VPN, so DNS stopped working).
Has anyone else come across this issue and have any suggestions for making netextender (or is it pppd?) play nicer with systemd-resolved? I'll probably open a support ticket with SonicWall on this, would that be the best place to report this?
Confirmed issue with 64bit installer. Not sure what's causing it:--- SonicWALL NetExtender 10.2.826 Installer ---ERROR: This copy of NetExtender is intended for 32-bit systems. Please install a copy of the 64-bit version of NetExtender
I got this error:--- SonicWALL NetExtender 10.2.826 Installer ---ERROR: This copy of NetExtender is intended for 32-bit systems. Please install a copy of the 64-bit version of NetExtender.--- SonicWALL NetExtender 10.2.826 Installer ---Downloaded the NetExtender.Linux-10.2.826.x86_64.tgz, and I'm on a x64.
In case it is still useful.Where I work Connect Tunnel is used, try the connection with NetExtender without success, thanks to this answer browse the demos until you find a link where the installer that was mentioned in other pages "ConnectTunnel-Linux64.tar" is downloaded -demo.com/workplace/access/home there will download a .jar, unzip and follow the steps -linux.translated by Google
