Nortel VPN Client Release 10.04.016 for Windows 7

March 6, 2010
by Michael McNamara in , ,

Nortel has released version 10.04.016 of their VPN client that now supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. This single client supports the following operating systems (in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions);

  • Windows 7: Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate
  • Vista: Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate
  • XP: Home, Professional, and Tablet

There are quite a few resolved bugs in this release and quite a few known issues. I would advise everyone to read the release notes thoroughly before spending too much time troubleshooting.

You can find the actual NVC (Nortel VPN Client) on the Nortel/Avaya website and the release notes here.

Cheers!

It would seem that this is a very popular post given the number of people searching for information regarding the Nortel VPN Client (NVC) and Microsoft Windows 7. I’ve uploaded the complete documentation archive containing the installation instructions and troubleshooting instructions. In addition if you are looking for the new NVC you can download it directly from Nortel here. While the client software isn’t “licensed” it is restricted by US export laws because of it’s 128-bit (and greater) encryption capabilities.

I’ve added links to the 32-bit and 64-bit clients in the comments below.

I can no longer host the Avaya VPN client software do to the enormous bandwidth utilization on my host. In addition there are just too many people abusing my gesture. I had a single IP address from China download the client software so many times that it consumed 10GB of bandwidth.

Avaya has released v10.04.109 of their VPN client software which is available in this post.

Juniper SSL VPN Secure Access 6.5R2 Available – Windows 7

Juniper has released a new version of software for their SSL VPN (Secure Access) appliances. The new release, 6.5R2, hopefully corrects all the issues and heartache that 6.5R1 brought to Juniper’s customers. I won’t rehash the issues that we discovered in 6.5R1, if you haven’t heard about them you can go read the earlier posts on the subject;

I will be testing 6.5R2 on a spare SA4000 appliance (waiting for an evaluation license key from Juniper) and will share my results with everyone here.

You can find the release notes for 6.5R2 here.

Windows 7

When will Juniper Network’s SSL VPN (SA platform/IVE OS) support Microsoft’s Windows 7 OS as a supported client platform? You can refer to Juniper knowledge base article, KB13195.

Juniper states that “Microsoft Windows 7 is qualified” (not supported) on 6.5R2 and there should be no major issues aside from the know caveats/issues.

Known Issues/Caveats:

* All client components:

  1. 1. Unable to install (or) launch client component using IE8 (64 bit). This is expected as IE8 (64 bit) browser is not supported. Please use IE8 (32 bit) to avoid this issue. (470316)

* EndPoint Integrity:

  1. When using IE 8 on 64-bit Windows 7 the reason string is not available when a patch assessment policy fails. (485421)

* Secure Virtual Workspace (SVW):

  1. When opening a file with Windows Photo Viewer inside SVW, the file is shown on the real desktop rather than inside the SVW session. (447409)
  2. On Windows 7, saving a MS Office 2003 file inside SVW fails. (486104)
  3. On Windows 7, Control Panel is accessible inside SVW even if it is disabled under application to allow list. (486104)

* WSAM:

  1. If Kaspersky Anti-Virus Version 2009 (8.0.0.506) is installed on a Windows 7 (OR) Windows Vista computer, WSAM will not be able to intercept and secure traffic. This issue is not seen with older versions of Kaspersky Anti-Virus (434715).

Cheers!

Update: January 6, 2009

I should point out that I’ve discovered that JSAM will not launch properly with Windows 7 (64-bit) when running 6.5R1 software. I initially thought it might have something to-do with the 32-bit/64-bit versions of Internet Explorer or the 32-bit/64-bit versions of the Java Runtime Environment. I tested the same machine today with 6.5R2 and it worked fine using the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer. I didn’t try the 64-bit version of Internet Explorer. So it would appear the problem is resolved in 6.5R2 software, please see the forums for additional details.
