Hi

Is there any news or roadmap when Windows 11 Image will be released into Threat Emulation Appliances.
Both TE2000XN & TE250XN.

Thanks

Hello,

well i have the same question, and believe me many customers ask the same ..
the general answer will be, "NO"

"Windows 11 will only run on the larger TE2000XN machines" thats a statement from our local CP office in Austria.
But i salute to all customers to run this powerhouse, TE2000XN.
For the smaller machines there will bo no any Windows 11 support, Cloud Only.
But still the SK https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk180619 states Windows 11 on onPrem is not (yet( supported.

maybe you can tweak something with TAC or Pro Services to get Windows 11 images running.

also check this thread, maybe not the most up-to-date ...

Hi

Thanks for your answer. Then I'll wait for further news about Windows 11 Image for on-prem Threat Emulation Appliances.

Did some testing actually. Seems like an on-prem Security Gateway that using Threat Emulation cloude mode Is not able to emulate files against the Win 11 OS.

Specified this Windows 11 UUID, 1108f8e1-2def-457d-901b-056d954c47fc
In my API-call

Getting the reponse code 1004.
Couldn't find the requested file, please upload It.

Strange.......
