Environment
- Palo Alto Firewalls
- Supported PAN-OS
- GlobalProtect (GP) Portal and App
- Microsoft Surface Pro with ARM processor
Cause
- GlobalProtect App version for ARM64 machines is not hosted on the GP Portal.
- Portal only hosts Windows 32-bit and 64-bit GP App versions and Mac 32/64 bit GP App version.
- The wrong GlobalProtect App version may have been installed in the client machine
Resolution
- Download the .msi GlobalProtect ARM file from the customer support portal and install it on the client machine.
- This will establish the PANGPS service and open port 4767, hence allowing a GlobalProtect connection.
Note: Updates can be downloaded at: Updates > Software updates > GlobalProtect Agent for windows ARM64 >GlobalProtectARM64-6.0.4.1-2.msi
