GP Issue Gateway Fake

[chanderjain]

Hi,

I am facing the issue with Pan GP where I get an error Gateway Fake: Could not connect to the GlobalProtect gateway. Please contact your IT administrator.

I tried to remove the certificate and also reinstall it multiple times and delete the Palo alto network file also and re-install the Pan GP but no luck. Uninstall all applications but no solution I find. It was working fine before that but suddenly start the error.

I getting these logs from the files.

Hi Chanderjain,

If the GP configurations are okay, then the following steps should resolve the issue.

• Disable WMI services: run - services.msc - Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) - stop the service.
• Delete the files under C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Repository
• Open Windows Registry (Regedit)
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software and HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software. Delete the Palo Alto Networks folder.
• Delete the same if the same folder is present in any other user under HKEY_USERS.
• Un-install GlobalProtect from Windows 'Programs and Features.'
• Make sure that the virtual adapter is not present in the Network adapter settings.
• Reboot the machine.
• Reinstall GlobalProtect with admin privileges.
• Confirm that WMI service is running.

Hope this helps!

Hi  AnalysisMan,

Thanks for sharing the solution but there I have one more concern. What I did there was I used my credential in another system's GPVPN and I see the same error and then I tried his credential in my machine's GPVPN what I see My GPVPN is connecting without any issue and error. Could you please help me here to understand where the issue is getting?
