I have taken the extender. I am looking to be able to upgrade the client so that when I do my final upgrade to R This is Win 10, not CheckPoint:. It aims to improve the security of Microsoft Windows by limiting application software to standard user privileges until an administrator authorizes an increase or elevation. I have logged onto my laptop with UAC running as we use this in the company and have installed the cpextender.
I log back onto my laptop with my normal non-admin account and load my SSL VPN website and this is when that box loads. Surely if I have installed the cpextender. If we were to do this process with SCCM which is what we will be doing in the long term, would this then not prompt for a 2nd install? I have just done a test on an off network laptop and I have disabled UAC. I am logged on as an admin account and installed the cpextender.
I then load my VPN website and I am being presented with this. I can obviously fix this here as this is an admin account on a test laptop but how do you fix this with a laptop running UAC and the user is not an admin? I have followed Check Point's post but it doesn't say anything about this bit or how to get around it.
I tried to click the publisher on the install message and installed this certificate but that doesn't help. The following Security Alert message may be displayed.
