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


  1. Download the .msi GlobalProtect ARM file from the customer support portal and install it on the client machine.
  2. 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
