Re: Unlocking the Resources: Technical Documentation Team
Glad to know someone from the group is going to be present.
And by way of welcome, here's a request. Go to the Doc Center, sort by Date, and scroll down just a bit:
Perhaps someone on your team can help identify (and correct) these errant entries.
Thanks!

Re: NetExtender client MAC
Global VPN Client supports certificate authentication. I am not actually 100% sure that this solves your problem, but I think that it does because nobody can "just have" a certificate in the same way they can "just have" a username and password.

Re: 7.1.3-7015 wrecks Object Definitions and access rules
All of my non-HA pair units were already on 7.1.2 and it still happened.
Re: SonicPlatform - are you ready?
Late to mid January 2025 and SW had another MSP-centric webinar which included a segment about SonicPlatform.
Thankfully, this MSW replacement is still in BETA mode. It is designed to take the place of all the disparate platforms to present the ultimate SPOG for all SW partners to handle Firewalls, Access Points, Switchs, NSM, CSC, monthly billing, etc.
I spent 30 minutes yesterday evening going through the UI.
My take: It is gonna be another three years before this partner will venture a second look…

Re: SSLVPN tunnel failed to set DNS
Any updates on this? I have run into the same issue with a few users, but definitely not all users. It also seems to be specific to the latest version of NetExtender (10.3) since it does not happen if I downgrade those users to use version 10.2.x.

Re: Where's the new 7.1.3 firmware for the CVE emailed LAST NIGHT?
@dslee it's available for at least 2 days now on MySonicWall … you can download it in the Download Center → By Product Line or on the Details page of your Product on the tab Firmware. Even on the "By Version" listing its downloadable now, there was a problem on Jan 8 for that.
If it is not shown directly you might login in Inkognito Mode or hit the refresh button, caching is sometimes an issue on MSW.

Re: SonicOS - which branch is still supported?
Good Afternoon Michael,
SonicWall is currently running two release trains to support Gen7 firewalls.
SonicOS 7.0 and SonicOS 7.1.
7.1.1 and 7.1.2 are the release versions on the SonicOS 7.1 branch.
We recommend users running software versions SonicOS 7.1.1-7040, 7.1.1-7047, 7.1.1-7058, and 7.1.2-7019 upgrade to SonicOS 7.1.3 if they are impacted by the recent high-severity vulnerability mentioned in the PSIRT advisory here.
Users operating with SonicOS 7.0.1-5161 and below are recommended to upgrade to SonicOS 7.0.1-5165

Re: Could you please provide anonymized sample logs of the following log types
@Alvida you can use the following Syslog Messages Reference Document which has the details of each message, including event/message Id, event group, event name etc. There are also several syslog message examples which you may find helpful.

Re: SonicOS - which branch is still supported?
@Larry for a 7.0.1-5161 appliance it shows "Latest Released Firmware 7.1.3-7015".
For the time being, all of my 7.0.1 appliances will be updated with 7.0.1-5165 instead of 7.1.3 until all the reported issues are sorted out.
